Universities UK (UUK) has today called for an urgent resolution to the ongoing discussions about UK access to Horizon Europe, with the future of the EU-UK research scheme described as ‘close to the precipice’.
In a letter to Maroš Šefčovič, Vice-President of the European Commission, UUK says that researchers across the continent have been waiting for 17 months for the arrangement to be confirmed, with the impact of the delay felt by UK institutions and their EU counterparts. Thousands of researchers across Europe have already backed the Stick to Science campaign, urging the EU to put scientific collaboration before politics.
