Our European advisors give expert support on applying for and managing Horizon Europe funding. We also provide specialist advice to research managers (called European Liaison Officers – or ELO – at UKRO).
Any UK university, charity or public sector research organisation interested in accessing EU funding can subscribe to our services.
You can find out if your organisation is already signed up by checking our list of UKRO subscribers.
If you work for another kind of organisation, you may be able to apply for associate membership. Please contact us for further information.
We also provide free advice on funding from the European Research Council, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and Widening Participation parts of Horizon Europe, as well as COST. You do not need a UKRO subscription to access this support.
Services and benefits
Depending on your role, we offer a range of services and benefits to support your research aims.
