This means that until point of exit the UK will be eligible to bid to all aspects of Horizon 2020. We are seeking discussions with the European Commission on the details of continued UK participation in EU programmes after exit at the earliest opportunity; these discussions would need to include consideration of the implication of the UK’s change in status from a Member State to a third country if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.</p><p> </p><p>In a no deal scenario, the UK government has committed to fund all successful competitive UK bids to Horizon 2020 submitted before exit day. In July this guarantee was extended. The post-EU exit extension to the guarantee is a commitment to fund all successful competitive UK bids to Horizon 2020 calls open to third country participation from the date of exit until the end of 2020. Both the guarantee and extension will apply for the lifetime of qualifying projects.</p><p> </p><p>We are conscious that third country participation does not extend to some Horizon 2020 calls. We continue to work with UKRI and stakeholders to identify appropriate measures that could be put in place in the period immediately after EU Exit, if necessary.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore grouped question UIN 221773 question first answered 22/02/2019 13:04:25 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
