Petition Action

Rejoin the EU Horizon science project with full members as soon as possible.

Petition Details

I would like the government to rejoin the EU Horizon project in full as soon as humanly possible, not just partial membership and a ‘compensatory’ UK initiative - progress in science relies on the collaboration of the world’s most brilliant minds.

Additional Information

This project is essential if the UK is to continue to lead the world in essential, innovative scientific developments, eg the AZ COVID vaccine was the result of 20 years of research from our top scientists.All our brilliant scientists warn of a brain drain away from the UK if membership of Horizon is only partial. Note also that our science community is one of our largest assets for growth, prosperity and good health.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The UK Government has said it has been pushing the EU to implement the UK’s association to Horizon Europe, but that EU has continued to delay UK association: questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2023-02-06/140168

It's therefore not clear what additional action you want the UK Government to take.
