As of 1st January 2024, the United Kingdom becomes an associated country to Horizon Europe. Its researchers will be able to participate in this research and innovation programme of the EU on the same terms as researchers from other associated countries and will have direct access to Horizon Europe funding.
The EU-UK Specialised Committee on Participation in Union Programmes adopted the political agreement on the United Kingdom's association to Horizon Europe and to the Copernicus component of the Space Programme on 4th December. This was the final step toward the UK’s association to Horizon Europe.
FAQs on the implications of the UK’s association to Horizon Europe are available on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal.
Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) have recently revised the SFI Discover Programme Grant Terms & Conditions (GT&Cs) 2023.
The amendments reflect those that had already been made to the SFI Grant General GT&Cs (2022), changes required by law, and minor revisions to improve clarity and to support ease-of-use for SFI applicants and grant recipients.
The 2023 Discover Programme GT&Cs will apply to all grants awarded by SFI from 25th September 2023. Regarding existing grants, the 2023 Discover Programme GT&Cs will only apply to dealings between the parties from this date, and not to any prior dealings.
