Carlos Moedas, European Commissioner for Research and Innovation<\/strong> said, in a lecture at the Royal Society of Edinburgh on Monday night,\u00a0that we should not give up on Europe and we should keep applying. He told the audience that to give up would make the arguments to withdraw altogether easier.<\/p>\n

This encouraging advice directly from the EC, on top\u00a0of the UK Government guarantee to fund any successful project submitted up until the proposed point of our departure from the EU, should give us confidence to apply.\u00a0Commissioner Moedas also emphasised the many benefits of cross European research\u00a0collaboration, beyond the funding and the huge benefits to the whole scientific and wider community, of participation. He further advised that there is a clear message from other Member States that they want to continue working with partners in the UK<\/p>\n

The Horizon 2020 2018-2020 Work Programmes have now been pre-published.\u00a0 These should be officially adopted at the end of October when they will be loaded onto the EC Participant Portal<\/a>. Below are links to some of\u00a0the pre-published work programmes.<\/p>\n

Contact your Research and Innovation Manager in RIO, as soon as you can about any proposal you have in mind, or if you want to find out more about EU funding.\u00a0 Keep in touch with your networks and contacts, here and in Europe, to make sure you can add your expertise to any bid being planned in your area, or find partners for projects which you plan to lead.<\/p>\n
