- The United Kingdom is associating with the EU in research projects.
- Projects include climate change protection and cancer research
- Horizon Europe gathers the best scientists around the world
The United Kingdom has announced plans to deepen and strengthen ties with the EU, especially with regard to research and innovation projects around technology.
The news will see the United Kingdom launch an advertising campaign at the national level and a series of Roadshows hoping to attract researchers to join the EU avant -garde research program, Horizon Europe.
Horizon Europe, which is the largest research collaboration program in the world, has a budget of almost 100 billion euros. The program has five missions; Adaptation to climate change, cancer research, oceans and waters, the construction of neutral and intelligent climatic cities, and restoring and protecting soil health.
An innovation power
The United Kingdom is not the only nation that is not from EU that participates in Horizon Europe, with other associations, including South Korea, New Zealand and Norway.
To further boost collaboration, the United Kingdom will also join four European Research Infrastructure Consortiums (ERICs). These will bring together the brightest minds on the continent, to foster ‘depth and high quality links’.
By participating in these research programs, the United Kingdom will not only benefit from the findings of research projects through the development of climate friendly practices and protections, but also to forge collaborative relationships with the main researchers around the world.
“There is no doubt about it: we have our best opportunity to address the great challenges of our time, from climate change to public health, to growing economies that work for all, by bringing the brightest minds throughout the United Kingdom And the European Union, together, “said the Secretary of Science and Technology of the United Kingdom, Peter Kyle.
“The United Kingdom is determined to give our researchers, innovators and companies the opportunities and platforms they need to give life to their great ideas, for the benefit of all of us, all of which is highlighted by our New Horizon advertising campaign. I am pleased to have had such fruitful conversations with my European friends and colleagues, when wearing this vital association even further. “
