Dear colleague, 

Many of you will have already heard the news this morning that the UK and EU have reached an agreement for UK association to Horizon Europe. 

This is fantastic news for Imperial and for the future of UK and EU science. The research and innovation made possible by Horizon Europe iscrucial to the UK’s future health, security and prosperity. 

Imperial has been a relentless campaigner on this issue because we know just how important our European partnerships and networks are to achieving our wider mission. We could not have done this without the help of so many of you: maintaining your European partnerships, continuing to submit proposals and win prestigious grants, and helping us to make the case for association at every opportunity.

Today’s announcement means we can continue our vital collaborations on the world’s most pressing challenges with our European collaborators and partners from all over the world.  

Best wishes, 
Hugh
