Ursula von der Leyen says she is looking forward to UK and EU researchers working together again - but scientists are worried about the government's reaction since the Windsor Framework was signed.
Scientists have been left concerned by the prime minister's reported"scepticism" about rejoining the EU's €95.5bn science programme, despite the positive outcome of talks over Northern Ireland which had been blocking UK access.
"The moment it's implemented I'm happy to start immediately, right now, the work on an association agreement, which is the precondition to join Horizon Europe, so good news for all those who are working in research and science," she said.Britain benefitted more than any other EU country from grants handed out under the Horizon programme which offered not just funding, but leadership of pan-European research groups and access to equipment and facilities.
