The UK’s new Treasury minister, Nadhim Zahawi, must confirm the UK’s “full support” for joining Horizon Europe within the next two weeks and extend the promise to any projects approved for European funding for at least another year, the British Academy has said.
In a letter to the new chancellor of the Exchequer published on 11 July, the academy’s president, Julia Black, raises the “pressing issue” of the UK’s association to the European Union’s flagship €90 billion (£77 billion) research scheme, stating that short-term actions and longer-term commitments to science funding are required.
