UK scientists had been shut out of the multibillion-euro scheme amid drawn-out Brexit negotiations.

President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has publicly confirmed that she is ready to begin talks immediately on an association agreement to allow United Kingdom participation in Horizon Europe, the European Union’s flagship research programme.

EU countries want to ensure the scientific publishing industry is fair and sustainable as it moves towards open access models, according to the first draft of council conclusions.

Recent policy moves in the US and the EU threaten to leave the UK in the dust, Express.co.uk was warned.

Post-Brexit alternatives to European funding for research and innovation must match previous sums. Without this vital cash, our universities will suffer a terrible blow, writes Paul Boyle.

Britain is on the verge of regaining access to the EU-led research budget - so why pretend we can credibly go it alone?

Still no deal as new Science and Tech dept head claims Britain has 'global-facing alternative' in the wings.

The minister for the Government's newly created science and technology department has signalled the UK is ‘ready to go it alone' if the EU does not agree to Britain's post-Brexit terms of membership.

Success rates are up, UK and Swiss participation down, and Widening countries edge up to the EU 27 average. And on the third anniversary of Brexit, the UK’s five top universities, usually among the biggest winners of EU R&D funding, are feeling the pinch

When the British electorate voted in 2016 to leave the EU, it was already clear that the implications for UK social sciences and humanities researchers were likely to be greater than for other disciplines.

Prof Harold Varmus, the Nobel Laureate in physiology or medicine (1989), was in Pune for two days and interacted with scientists and students at National Centre for Cell Science.

When Boris Johnson agreed the Brexit divorce package with the EU, he promised it would unleash innovation, turning Britain into an agile “science superpower”. But rather than boost UK science and technology, Brexit has – so far – damaged it,

Brexit has certainly not helped UK science and technology and in some ways has damaged it. The UK’s participation in Horizon Europe, the EU’s research and innovation fund, remains uncertain.

The UK's Europe minister called on the European Union to reopen British access to EU scientific programmes on Monday.

UK SCIENTISTS have been told they can no longer take part in meetings organised by a key European infectious diseases agency due to Brexit tensions, it has emerged. / “This is a recognition that Brexit has consequences, and the form of Brexit the UK has chosen has more severe consequences than were necessary."

Some of the brightest scientific minds are leaving the UK, as they lose access to European funding in the wake of Brexit, SkyNews has found.

Talks over the Horizon Europe funding programme have been stalled until other Brexit-related disagreements are resolved.

Scientists have warned the UK’s prominence in the world research field is at risk of “brain drain” after concerns for EU research funding will be dropped post-Brexit.

Research is at risk due to a "significant brain drain" as the industry's brightest talents relocate overseas in the wake of Brexit. / A total of 22 UK-based scientists have now decided to leave Britain rather than lose their EU research funding, as uncertainty continues around the future of Research and Development (R&D) support post-Brexit.

And if and when it does, role lacks Cabinet position, complain Lords. / The UK's position in science and innovation is under threat from a lack of government focus and financial investment according to a House of Lords committee.

The UK government’s plan to increase R&D spending requires a skilled workforce which its universities and research institutes will struggle to assemble, expert witnesses told the House of Lords’ science and technology committee today. / The subtext is that the UK’s reputation as an international science and technology hub has been damaged by the government’s post-Brexit stance on immigration.

One of the most contentious parts of the torturous post-Brexit trade negotiations between the UK and Europe was the dispute-resolution process. Now it’s being tested.

In rejecting EU funding programmes, Britain has jeopardised research and made itself far less attractive to overseas scientists.

The UK government has begun what may be its final effort to resolve a dispute over the UK's membership of the EU's €100bn Horizon research programme.
