Horizon Europe

Vice-Chancellor Wendy Larner - Cardiff University academics are set to regain access to the world's largest research programme following a deal struck by the UK Government. UK researchers will be able to apply for grants and bid to take part in projects under the Horizon Europe programme. Horizon offers unique opportunities to lead global work to develop new technologies and research projects across the social, physical and biological sciences. The deal has been warmly welcomed, with the University's research community being urged to take full advantage of the renewed funding opportunities. "Association with Horizon Europe is tremendous news for our academics and for UK science, research and innovation as a whole," according to Cardiff University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Wendy Larner. "The last couple of years has seen a period of relative uncertainty, which has been frustrating - especially as Cardiff has led and been inextricably involved in many Horizon projects in the past. "The scale of research supported by Horizon Europe will improve lives and help tackle the shared environmental, economic, and social challenges we face.
