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.
