Apply for Horizon Europe guarantee funding
Although the UK is in the process of associating with the programme, the “Horizon Europe guarantee” scheme offers funds to academics and innovators who are unable to get their Horizon Europe grant. UKRI is distributing the cash through its grant mechanisms.
To be eligible you must:
- be based in the UK
- have been successful at applying for a Horizon Europe grant with final submission deadlines on or before 30 June 2023
- have been included on the initial grant proposal as a ‘beneficiary’ with an assigned budget
Before you submit your application for “multi-beneficiary funds,” the coordinator and the European Commission must have signed your grant agreement.
For “mono-beneficiary grants,” the Commission’s financing offer must have been withdrawn, or you must send a letter saying that the “grant agreement preparation” process with the Commission has been terminated.
Follow the specific guidance for your type of grant here: UKRI guidance for the Horizon Europe guarantee scheme.
