<p>In the event the UK leaves the EU without an overall withdrawal agreement, HMG
will guarantee the payment of awards for UK organisations which successfully bid directly
to EU programmes (including research and innovation programmes such as Horizon 2020),
until the end of 2020, for the whole lifetime of projects agreed. This includes where
a project continues beyond the end of 2020.</p><p> </p><p>As the Political Declaration
states, the UK wishes to explore the option of association to EU research and innovation
programmes post-2020, including Horizon Europe, Euratom R&T, JET, ITER and Copernicus.
The UK’s future participation in EU research and innovation programmes is subject
to negotiations on the future UK-EU relationship. The Government will take a longer
term look at spending through the Spending Review in 2019 to ensure it is in line
with policy objectives. This includes replacements for EU programmes.</p><p> </p>
