Following the news that the UK is to join Horizon Europe, Janet Valentine, ABPI Executive Director, Innovation and Research Policy said:

“Joining the Horizon Europe programme is a huge win for the scientific research community, who have been pushing for resolution over the past few years. UK innovation and research depends on international collaborations which are crucial for driving advancements in all areas of science, including the discovery and early development of new medicines and vaccines.
