The Westminster government has again extended its funding guarantee for UK-based winners of grants from the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme.
The guarantee scheme, which launched in November 2021, is supposed to be a stopgap until the European Commission signs off on full UK participation, withheld over disputes about the Brexit deal’s Northern Ireland Protocol.
The guarantee was extended in March 2022 to cover any Horizon grant agreements “expected to be signed” before the end of the year but now covers EU funding calls closing on or before 31 December.
