<p>The UK’s objective is to seek a close association with the Euratom Research and
Training Programme, including JET and ITER, following the UK’s withdrawal from the
EU. My rt. hon. Friend the Prime Minister reiterated this aim in her Jodrell Bank
speech on 21 May, stating that the UK would like the option to fully associate ourselves
with the excellence-based European science and innovation programmes, including Euratom
Research and Training, and would be willing to make an appropriate financial contribution.</p><p>
</p><p>On 23 May, the UK published its vision for the future UK-EU partnership on
science and innovation[1], including on nuclear research, setting out the UK’s vison
for a far-reaching science and innovation pact. Discussions about a potential future
framework for collaboration on Science and Innovation are held with the Department
for Exiting the European Union on an ongoing basis. UK officials had early discussions
about such a potential framework, including the Euratom Research and Training Programme,
with the EU’s Taskforce 50 on 22nd May and further discussions will be had in due
course.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/framework-for-the-uk-eu-partnership-science-research-and-innovation"
