UK PARTICIPATION IN HORIZON 2020 FROM 1 FEBRUARY, 2020
The Withdrawal Agreement provides for the implementation of Union programmes and activities committed under the MFF for the years 2014-2020 and previous financial perspectives. As a consequence, UK entities remain eligible for grants and procurement procedures as if the UK was a member state for the entirety of the Horizon 2020 framework programme and previous framework programmes. This also applies to financial support to third parties according to Article 204 FR (cascading grants), and applies for the duration of H2020 projects.

You should note that the implementation of the NGI projects using cascading grants establishes two types of beneficiaries:

• Those running the R&I Actions (NGI centres) who will set the research agenda for the topic and will launch the calls for third party projects
• The third parties (sub-grantees) who will implement the research. Here there is a focus on top researchers, hi-tech startups and SMEs who have the capacity to set the course of Internet evolution.
