It comes seven months after a trade dispute was resolved and has been warmly welcomed by British scientists.<\/p>\n<p>Prime \u200dMinister Rishi Sunak&#8217;s office stated that he\u200b had\u200c secured &#8220;improved financial terms of association&#8221; with the Horizon project.\u2064 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve taken the time to negotiate the right deal for \u200cthe UK, a bespoke deal, which works in our interest,&#8221; Sunak\u200c told\u2063 reporters. &#8220;(It) works in the \u200cbest interest of our\u200b researchers and scientists\u200b but also in\u200c the best interest\u200b of British taxpayers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sunak&#8217;s office also \u2062confirmed that Britain would associate with the European earth observation programme \u2063Copernicus, but not with the EU&#8217;s \u2064Euratom programme. Instead, the country will pursue a domestic fusion energy \u200dstrategy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s \u200dpolitical agreement on \u200cthe UK&#8217;s participation \u200cin Horizon Europe\u2063 and Copernicus will \u2062strengthen \u200cscience across the whole of Europe,&#8221; said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on messaging platform \u2062X,\u200b formerly\u200d known as\u200c Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Under\u200c the \u2064Brexit trade agreement signed in 2020,\u200c Britain\u200d negotiated access \u2062to various EU science and innovation programmes, including Horizon,\u2063 which has an annual budget of 95.5 billion euros ($102 billion) and is the EU&#8217;s largest funding programme\u200c for \u2062researchers.<\/p>\n<p>The EU initially blocked Britain&#8217;s participation due to a dispute over post-Brexit\u2062 trade rules concerning Northern Ireland.\u200d However, the resolution of that dispute \u2063in February opened the door for Britain to rejoin Horizon Europe.<\/p>\n<p>During negotiations, Britain had questioned the amount \u2062it needed to pay to\u2064 rejoin,\u200b considering the two years\u2063 it had missed. The country\u2063 had guaranteed funding for UK applicants to Horizon while discussions were ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>According to the agreement, Britain will not have to pay for \u200dthe time it was frozen out, and a &#8220;clawback&#8221; mechanism will compensate \u200cthe country if UK scientists receive significantly less \u200dmoney than the government contributes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s agreement in principle marks another step forward for the EU and UK to work together in the spirit of\u2062 friendly cooperation on issues of shared interest,&#8221; said a joint statement by Britain and the European Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Universities like Oxford and Imperial College London expressed their satisfaction with the deal, stating that it would facilitate collaborations on the world&#8217;s\u2063 most pressing challenges. Scientists are hopeful\u2064 that\u2063 their work with European colleagues can flourish once more after the enforced hiatus.<\/p>\n<p>($1 = 0.9328 euros)<\/p>\n<p>  (Reporting by Alistair Smout and Muvija M; additional reporting by Kylie MacLellan, editing by Elizabeth Piper, John\u2062 Stonestreet and Mark Heinrich)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/britain-rejoins-eus-horizon\/attachment\/britains-prime-minister-rishi-sunak-visits-kent-scientific-services-in\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<h3>Concerns Raised Over Biden Administration&#8217;s Goals in Ukraine<\/h3>\n<p>As Secretary of State Antony Blinken visits Ukraine to offer commitments of further military assistance, GOP Senators are raising concerns\u200c about the Biden Administration&#8217;s goals in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<h3>New York Governor\u2064 Discusses Ongoing Migrant Crisis with \u200dPresident Biden<\/h3>\n<p>New York Governor Kathy Hochul met with President Biden last \u2064week to discuss \u200bthe state&#8217;s ongoing migrant \u200dcrisis.
