The UK\u2019s aim is to be the partner of choice on international research and innovation. The International Research and Innovation Strategy sets out how we will achieve this by deepening international engagement, partnerships and practical collaboration.<\/p>
There are strong links between the UK and EU\u2019s research and innovation communities, with a long track record of jointly tackling global challenges. We are working to ensure that collaboration can continue in any scenario, including the funding commitment made under the Horizon 2020 guarantee and extension.<\/p>
We are exploring association to the Horizon Europe programme, as well as considering alternative options as part of a review of the future UK funding landscape.
