European Programmes

We recently recorded a video to give you an overview of the Five Horizon Europe Missions. You can watch it here.

The European Union represents one of the world’s largest international market, with more than 500 million people generating over €14 trillion in economic activity – approximately 22% of global nominal GDP.

How can KTN Global Alliance help?

There is an increasing need for UK organisations to be proactive about identifying and connecting with potential European project partners. The network of National Contact Points (NCPs) is the main structure to provide guidance, practical information and assistance on all aspects of participation in European Framework Programmes including Horizon Europe (and its predecessor Horizon 2020). Use this link to find the relevant UK National Contact Point.

In partnership with NCPs and Innovate UK EDGE (which operated as Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) until 2020), KTN helps UK businesses to access European programmes such as Horizon Europe as well as other funding programmes such as EUREKA, Interreg and Life Programme, and informs funding priorities to match UK business need. This increases the rate of delivery of new or improved products, processes or services for economic, environmental and societal benefit.

You can get help from KTN Global Alliance to:

• Find funding opportunities
• Form partnerships
• Develop your project proposals

KTN Global Alliance also highlights Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP) or Cascade Funding. The main objective of this financing method is to simplify administrative procedures with SMEs, thus allowing some projects financed by the EU to issue, in turn, open calls to obtain more funding. You can find all of the current open calls here.

Follow the KTN Global Alliance team on Twitter for news on EU funding and other international opportunities.

Future UK Participation in European R&I Framework Programmes – You can still apply for European Funding. “The UK is expected to become an associated country to the EU’s R&I Framework Programme Horizon Europe. The UK will therefore have the same rights and obligations as other countries associated to the Programme.” Read more here.

The UK aims to maintain a close relationship with European partners in the European research and innovation Framework Programme: Horizon Europe. It represents a significant opportunity for UK companies to access finance for research and development and innovation. It is an opportunity to form collaborations in new supply chains, for SMEs to build relationships with multinational partners, and gives a route for businesses to reach new markets, facilitating uptake of new technologies by end users and customers. The collaboration is important – it is not just about funding.

Association to Horizon Europe will give UK scientists, researchers and businesses access to funding under the programme on equivalent terms as organisations in EU countries. The next step is for both sides to formally adopt the full text of the agreement taking into account the finalised EU Programme Regulations. Read more here.
