Horizon Europe Grant Awards

The UK government has announced a new scheme that guarantees funding for successful applicants to the first and second wave of Horizon Europe Grant Awards regardless of the outcome of the UK’s efforts to associate with Horizon Europe.

The guarantee is a short-term measure intended to address the delays in formalizing the UK’s association with Horizon Europe. To provide reassurance, the government has guaranteed funding for the first two waves of eligible, successful applicants to Horizon Europe, if they are unable to sign their grant agreements with the EU.

This guarantee covers the costs of EIT-eligible activities delivered by UK participants of the KICs in 2021 and 2022 that would otherwise have been covered by grant funding awarded by EIT.

This funding route is for EIT-eligible activities carried out by UK partners involved in EIT-KIC activities where relevant costs will be incurred in the calendar year 2022.

Eligibility

You will be eligible to register with UKRI for the Horizon Europe guarantee through this route if you:

• are a UK-based organization that will carry out a project under a KIC 2022 Business Plan and will incur relevant costs during the 2022 calendar year.

Benefits

This competition will cover the costs of EIT-eligible activities delivered by UK participants of the KICs that would otherwise have been covered by grant funding awarded by EIT.
