In Armagh, Northern Ireland, new types of drugs for cancer therapy are being developed with the participation of scientists from across Europe In Aberdeen, Dundee, Birmingham, Brighton and London, city councils and bus companies participate in Europe-wide projects deploying hundreds of innovative hydrogen vehicles for zero-emission city transport.
What do these projects have in common? Horizon Europe, the European Union’s €95bn research and innovation framework programme.I am in London today to celebrate this huge milestone with Michelle Donelan, the Secretary of State for Science and Innovation. This is a win-win for both sides and marks a new chapter in EU-UK relationship.
Officials estimate there are about 65,000 UK businesses with research and development interests that make them eligible for Horizon Europe funding. British teams have taken part in more than 47,000 EU research projects in the past 40 years and received £18bn. The programme tackles the major challenges facing our societies, such as climate change. British talents already contribute their knowledge and skills. For example, five companies from the North, Midlands and Cambridge develop fast-charging, low-cost batteries for electric cars, with scientists from Nottingham and research centres in Europe and Turkey.
