- UK to rejoin £85bn EU science scheme Horizon as PM allows deal to be finalised
- Britain has been out the group for two years since Brexit a
Britain is poised to rejoin the EU’s Horizon science programme after Rishi Sunak gave negotiators the green light to finalise a deal.
The UK has been absent from the bloc’s £85 billion research regime for two years post-Brexit, and there were fears that talks may be scuppered over tensions about the price of rejoining.
But an official announcement is expected as early as tomorrow after ‘significant’ progress in negotiations, according to one Government source. The issue is understood to have been sitting in Mr Sunak’s in-tray for weeks as he haggled for higher sums from the fund for British scientists to ensure they can catch up after the two-year absence.
It is understood some minor issues will still need to be ironed out.
