UK to rejoin EU Horizon programme in 'bespoke new agreement'

September 07, 2023

The UK will rejoin the EU's Horizon science programme after two years of absence post-Brexit, the government has confirmed.

Number 10 said the UK will join "through a bespoke new agreement with the EU".

A spokesperson added Prime Minister Rishi Sunak secured "improved financial terms of association that are right for the UK and protect the taxpayer".

The issue has been on Mr Sunak's desk for weeks while he attempts to negotiate a higher sum for British scientists to ensure they catch up after the two-year absence.
