This paper sets out the UK government's views on the 10th
Research and Innovation Framework Programme (FP10).
The UK have been associated to Horizon Europe since the start of
2024, and as such, we are following the developments around its
successor programme with interest.
FP10,
the successor programme to Horizon Europe, will be tasked with
harnessing excellence-based research and innovation to support
delivery of European security, sustainable prosperity and
competitiveness. The global nature of the current programme
allows likeminded countries with shared goals, such as the UK, to
pool resources in support of scientific collaboration with our
European partners and other associated countries to tackle
pressing societal challenges and directly impact people's lives.
The UK's collaboration through EU Framework Programmes is rooted
in longstanding ties of friendship, shared expertise, and common
values. Scientists and innovators from the UK and EU are working
together to tackle some of the most important issues facing our
societies – from climate and the clean energy transition, to
supporting our common economic security. We are clear that we
want to strengthen these ties with our neighbours and allies and
explore areas where we can boost our shared prosperity and
security through mutually beneficial agreements.
Having recently associated to Horizon Europe, we want UK
scientists, innovators, businesses, and institutions to closely
collaborate with partners across Europe going forward and hope
that the developing proposals for FP10 will
support this. The UK is of course interested in potentially
associating to FP10 assuming
it is open and relevant to our research community. As such, we
are keen to support discussions as FP10 shapes
up.
