Impacts of Horizon Europe uncertainty on UK chemistry
Summary of contents
The UK R&D community has been operating in ambiguity for the past 4 years. Despite the UK government’s ambition to be "at the forefront of global collaboration in its R&D", researchers in our community are feeling the reality of long-term uncertainty over future UK participation in EU research and innovation programmes. We have learned that despite work to maintain relationships, share knowledge collaboratively and build in multiple contingency plans, UK research and innovation is losing out. In this briefing we outline the impacts that UK chemists have experienced and what the government can do to address this.
