Two and a half years after Brexit, some cheer for scientists based in Britain. We're... baaaaxit (sorry!)
UK scientists can once again pitch for chunks of the EU's £86 billion Horizon program after the British government negotiated re-entry to the flagship fund following a Brexit-related hiatus.funding at the beginning of 2021, following its formally negotiated departure from the world's richest trading bloc. The failure to secure membership of Horizon as part of the deal has been heavily criticized by the UK's leading scientists.
"We have worked with our EU partners to make sure that this is right deal for the UK, unlocking unparalleled research opportunities, and also the right deal for British taxpayers," Sunak said. The British government said it wanted to pursue a domestic fusion energy strategy instead of associating Euratom, backing its alternative strategy with £650 million to 2027.
