CLARIFICATION UK PARTICIPATION IN HORIZON 2020
The EC has issued guidance on UK participation in H2020. We dont expect any restrictions to apply to Horizon 2020 calls for proposals in the areas of interest to ELIXIR "General notice for UK applicants: In conformity with the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement, the UK and persons or entities established in the UK continue to be eligible to receive Union funds under actions carried out in direct, indirect or shared management, which implement Union programmes and activities committed under the MFF 2014-2020 until the closure of those Union programmes and activities. Restrictions may, however, apply for security-related reasons or concerning financial instruments. When such restrictions apply, these will be clearly specified in the call for proposals."
