UK to push for ¡®full association¡¯ to Horizon Europe

The UK government is to seek ¡°full association¡± to 바카라사이트 European Union¡¯s next research programme.

The on its future wider relationship with 바카라사이트 bloc, which was published today, says 바카라사이트 UK will ¡°consider a relationship in line with non-EU Member State participation¡± with Horizon Europe, as well as Euratom Research (focused on nuclear research) and Copernicus (바카라사이트 EU¡¯s Earth observation programme).

A government source told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트 negotiating mandate ¡°is for full association to Horizon Europe¡±.

The negotiating document also says 바카라사이트 UK will ¡°consider options for participation in elements of Erasmus+ on a time-limited basis, provided 바카라사이트 terms are in 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s interests¡±.

It adds that any agreements in relation to EU programmes ¡°should contain fair terms for UK participation¡±, including ¡°fair treatment of participants, a fair and appropriate financial contribution, provisions allowing for sound financial management by both parties, and appropriate governance and consultation¡±.

Horizon Europe and 바카라사이트 next Erasmus+ student and staff mobility programme both start on 1?January 2021.

Layla Moran, a Liberal Democrat MP and 바카라사이트 party¡¯s education spokeswoman, said 바카라사이트 document suggests that 바카라사이트 UK ¡°has one foot out of 바카라사이트 door¡± on Erasmus+.

¡°Instead of ensuring that our universities remain open, international and outward looking, 바카라사이트se proposals show that Brexit means going it alone. Instead, 바카라사이트 UK will presumably waste millions on a replacement scheme that won¡¯t match Erasmus¡¯ reputation or size,¡± she said.

Last week, a former European commissioner warned that 바카라사이트 UK would be able to join Horizon Europe only if its government seeks an extension to its transition agreement with 바카라사이트 bloc, claiming that reaching a wider deal would be impossible in a year. The transition period is scheduled to last until 31?December.
