Financial safety net for UK researchers has been extended!

This guarantee covers all eligible, current applications to calls where researchers expect to sign grant agreements this year.

The UK Government has decided to extend the funding guarantee for successful UK Horizon applications. The guarantee has now been extended to include those calls for which the last legal date for signing grant agreements is expected to pass before 31 December 2022.

This guarantee is intended to support the first two waves (full call list in Annex) of Horizon Europe awardees for excellent science, research and innovation in the event that they cannot sign a grant agreement with the European Commission or delegated party because the UK’s association has not been formalised in time, and therefore cannot receive funding. Both for mono-beneficiary and multi-beneficiary grants, this funding will be provided for the lifetime of the grant, subject to UKRI terms and conditions.
