To: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak

Sign the Horizon Deal and save science

07/09/23 - We Won!

Following pressure from our campaign, The Government has confirmed that the UK will re-join the EU's flagship scientific research scheme. Congratulations to everyone who signed.

Rejoin the EU Horizon research and innovation programme so researchers can access funding and collaboration opportunities.

Why is this important?

We need to ensure the deal - which is ready to go - gets signed. Horizon allows scientists to work on protecting bees and build upon work from the Covid vaccine to protect us from future health emergencies. If we want a better future, this type of research is vital.

15 Nobel Prize winners and scientists across the UK are asking the Prime Minister to sign the deal. If he rejects it, that compromises the future of science in Britain. That’s why we need to put pressure on Rishi Sunak to put pen to paper.
