Reminder: DSIT is producing case studies on the interplay between national and European funded research

The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) is looking for best practice examples of interplay between research funded nationally and under Horizon Europe.

UK researchers and research staff are invited to provide brief feedback by 16 December 2024 for the following case studies:

  • Domestically funded R&I project/investments, which went on to receive follow-up funding under the Horizon funding scheme (Horizon Europe or Horizon 2020);
  • Horizon-funded projects or research activities which went on to receive national or other international funding or investment to support the growth and commercialisation of their research results.

If you know of specific case studies, examples or would like to offer feedback, please write to the general UKRO inbox at ukro@ukro.ac.uk by Monday 16 December 2024.

Experiences from all research disciplines, sectors and from all career stages are welcome.
