The Government continues to be ready to work constructively with the EU on a range of issues including UK association to Horizon Europe. My Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State and I met with the EU’s Ambassador to the UK, Pedro Serrano, on 14th March and discussed collaboration on science and research, including the Horizon Europe programme. We welcome the EU’s recent openness to working closer together. The EU have not yet made any proposals to address the financial terms of UK association, given we are now over 2 years into a 7-year programme.
