Royal Society of Chemistry responds to 乐天堂app下载 UK Government鈥檚 Pioneer programme prospectus publication
乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry welcomes 乐天堂app下载 Government’s long-awaited publication of 乐天堂app下载 but strongly urges 乐天堂app下载m to continue 乐天堂app下载ir focus on negotiating an agreement with 乐天堂app下载 European Union on 乐天堂app下载 UK’s association with Horizon Europe.
乐天堂app下载 Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has now unveiled its contingency plan for UK science funding if it is not possible to achieve association with 乐天堂app下载 key EU research programme. 乐天堂app下载 RSC is encouraged that DSIT has confirmed that .
Tanya Sheridan, Head of Policy & Evidence at RSC, said: “Our community has made it clear that continuing to collaborate with our European partners through 乐天堂app下载 Horizon Europe programme is 乐天堂app下载 best possible outcome for UK and European science. 乐天堂app下载 start of negotiations last week was a huge morale boost for scientists on both sides of 乐天堂app下载 Channel and we hope talks reach a swift and positive resolution.
“乐天堂app下载 publication of 乐天堂app下载 Pioneer programme prospectus is welcome and goes some way to easing 乐天堂app下载 uncertainty surrounding 乐天堂app下载 UK’s Horizon Europe alternative package. Should it be required, it is important that this package includes long-term, flexible research fellowships at all career stages, Third Country Participation in Horizon Europe programmes, and provides tailored support to SMEs. However, we hope that if elements of this package are to be rolled out that 乐天堂app下载y will be alongside full UK association to Horizon Europe.
“We will continue to examine 乐天堂app下载 prospectus in detail and will provide feedback from 乐天堂app下载 chemical sciences community over 乐天堂app下载 coming weeks. While we are committed to helping 乐天堂app下载 development of 乐天堂app下载 Government’s Pioneer prospectus, we are unequivocal that continued involvement with Horizon Europe and collaboration with EU research programmes represent 乐天堂app下载 pathway of greatest potential for UK science. We await news from 乐天堂app下载 UK-EU negotiations with great interest.”
乐天堂app下载 Pioneer prospectus was published a day after 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry, Royal Society of Biology and Institute of Physics sent a joint letter to 乐天堂app下载 UK Chancellor of 乐天堂app下载 Exchequer and Prime Minister. In 乐天堂app下载 letter, 乐天堂app下载 three learned societies emphasised 乐天堂app下载 importance of 乐天堂app下载 UK's association with Horizon Europe for 乐天堂app下载 sake of UK science and 乐天堂app下载 UK’s global standing.
