CaSE’s initial response to the news that the UK has agreed an association deal for EU research programmes Horizon and Copernicus.
What wonderful news!
This news will bring a burst of joy to UK science and will provide the foundation for long-lasting economic, health and technological value to the UK.
The many organisations that lead with science and research in the UK, including big business, start-ups, universities and health charities, will be delighted with this news.
With this renewed certainty, scientists and engineers across the UK and Europe can now accelerate their ideas and collaborations, which drive the economy and improves the lives and livelihoods of people everywhere.
Congratulations to all who have worked so hard to secure this deal over the last few years.
