Department for Science, Innovation and Technology We are delighted that on 4 December 2023, the UK and EU have signed our bespoke new agreement, finalising the UK’s association to Horizon Europe and Copernicus. UK researchers can now bid into Horizon, certain that all successful UK applicants will be covered through the UK’s association (or through the guarantee) for the remainder of the programme. All calls in Work Programme 2024 will be covered by association and the UK guarantee scheme will be extended to cover all calls under Work Programme 2023. From July 2026, UK entities may apply for EIC equity investments. This will include the Scaleup Europe Fund (once established). This is a transitional arrangement; any EIC investments will depend on the amendment of the UK’s association agreement being successfully completed.
