Seeing in re-ascension to Horizon Europe with a bang

Abstract

As I suspect all of you and your pets will know, when the UK formally left the European Union on 1 January 2021, the UK’s association with the Horizon Europe programme also came to an end. Fast-forward a couple of prime ministers and we’re back in – as of 1 January 2024. To celebrate, our friends at Imperial College London hosted a reception, bringing together over 200 members of the UK and European science communities. As a member of the Biochemical Society’s Early Career Advisory Panel and as someone whose own research journey has been supported by generous funding from EU programmes, I was more than happy to be asked to represent the Biochemical Society at the event.
