Government wants the country to remain part of Horizon 2020 research programme and continue nuclear, space and defence associations

The government is to press for continued UK membership of key European science programmes including Horizon 2020 and its successor, as well as nuclear, space and defence research, once the country leaves the EU. It says it wants to forge a broad science and innovation agreement that will be a ‘more ambitious and close partnership with the EU than any yet agreed between the EU and a non-EU country’.
