European Commission The UK Government have published plans to protect and support UK science, research, technology and innovation, should association to Horizon Europe not be possible. UCL researchers are encouraged to apply for funding as normal as the guarantee remains in place until 30 June. On Thursday 6 April, the UK Government published plans for Pioneer: Global Science for Global Good which sets out plans to protect and support UK science, research, technology and innovation (SRTI) sectors, should association to Horizon Europe on 'fair and appropriate terms' not be possible. The Government underlined that discussions with the EU regarding UK association to Horizon Europe are ongoing, with Secretary of State Michelle Donelan having travelled to Brussels for meetings with EU Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth on 4th April , and that securing UK association remains their preference. Should it be required, the alternative Pioneer programme would comprise four interconnected offers: - Pioneer Talent which would enhance the UK's investment in discovery research as well as the UK's already strong talent offer Pioneer Global which would complement and enhance partners' existing international partnerships Pioneer Innovation which would increase UK support to business-led innovation across sectors, technologies and UK regions Pioneer Infrastructure which would provide additional funding into UK SRTI infrastructure, building on successful programmes such as World Class labs - UCL's Horizon Europe Response Group (HERG), chaired by Professor Geraint Rees, continues to monitor the situation closely.
