Brexit and UK Participation
in Horizon 2020
Emil Fischer – Policy Advisor, UKSA

Horizon 2020 and Brexit - What Next?
1
UK will leave the EU on 31 October
In a No Deal Scenario, UK should be able to participate in Horizon 2020 as
a third country
The UK government has committed to provide funding for all successful
eligible UK bids to Horizon 2020 that are submitted before the end of 2020

HMG Underwrite Guarantee
2
Ø Participants should register any grants they hold on the UKRI Portal.
Ø UKRI will contact participants using the details provided with further
information about the guarantee, if needed.
Ø In the event of a no-deal Brexit, UKRI will request evidence of your grant in
order to make guarantee payments. Grant holders will need to ensure that
they have the relevant evidence and are in a position to provide this after
Brexit.

HMG Underwrite Guarantee - UK applicants
who submit new bids before and after Brexit
3
Ø If a bid is submitted BEFORE Brexit, participation in Horizon 2020 will be
covered by the government’s funding guarantee. The funding will apply for the
lifetime of the project.
Ø If a bid is submitted AFTER Brexit, funding for participation in Horizon 2020 will
be provided through the guarantee, if Commission funding stops (or never
starts in the case of newly awarded grants). If the Commission asks
participants to sign an agreement, they should still do so.

HMG Underwrite Guarantee – Applications
not open to Third Countries
4
Ø Proposals evaluated as successful by the Commission will be covered by the
government’s funding guarantee.
Ø However, if the Commission notifies an applicant that it will not continue to
assess their bid after Brexit, they will be able to re-submit their proposal to
UKRI for independent assessment.
Ø UKRI will only accept proposals that have been submitted to Horizon 2020
before Brexit, regardless of the EU call deadline. Evidence of this prior
submission will be required.
Ø Bids deemed successful as a result of this independent assessment process
will be funded for their lifetime through the government’s ‘in-flight’ funding.

Ongoing projects with a minimum EU country or
associated country membership requirement
5
Ø If a project has a minimum eligibility requirement, this change in status may
result in your project becoming ineligible, and there is a risk that the
Commission may terminate the grant after Brexit.
Ø We want to make sure that UK participants can continue to deliver their
research where viable if there’s a no-deal Brexit.
Ø If it is not viable to deliver the project on a standalone basis, funding will be
provided to cover the necessary costs associated with the closure of the
project (the level of funding will be capped at the value of the outstanding
grant).

Ongoing projects which are only open to EU
countries or associated countries
6
Ø The Commission may terminate a grant after Brexit if it’s not open to third
country participation.
Ø In the event of a no-deal Brexit, government wants to ensure that UK
participants can continue to deliver their research where viable. If it’s not viable
to deliver the project on a standalone basis, funding will be provided to cover
the necessary costs associated with the closure of the project (the level of
funding will be capped at the remaining value of the grant).

Hints and Tips – Proposal Outline
• Good to have a one page proposal to help focus ideas and for consortium
building
• WHY the project is being carried out
• WHAT is expected to be achieved…what is not expected to be achieved
– Objectives
• WHO is going to do the work
– The consortium and the synergy and complementarity of the partners
• HOW the project is going to achieve the above
– Work plan and phases of work
– Means and resources to be used

Hints and Tips – Writing the Proposal
• Refer to the evaluation criteria - there are three elements, each scored out
of five:
• Excellence - credibility of the proposed approach, ambition of the work,
innovation potential, is it beyond the state of the art (e.g. ground breaking
objectives, novel concepts and approaches)
• Implementation - how you will carry out the work and the quality of the
consortium
• Impact - strengthening the competitiveness and growth of companies,
effectiveness of the project to exploit and disseminate the project results
(including IPR management)

Impacts
• Align them to the call
• Be specific - give numbers e.g. increase performance by X%
• Show how they go beyond current state of the art
• Consider societal, environmental and economic benefits, e.g. jobs
• Give a pathway to impact – how will you deliver impacts?
• Consider project sustainability – impacts after the project

Implementation
• Management – needs to be well considered – in large consortium we want
to see that you have considered how it will work in good times and in bad
• Track record of managing large projects is advisable
• There are no favoured member states but you need to justify partner
inclusion – geography and expertise
• Responsibilities – who is doing what in which WP – good if you can name
some people to show you have really thought it through
• Share the work – show it’s a real consortium
15

Implementation
• Risks – consider all risks – management, commercial, political and
economic – there is no such thing as no risk – rank and consider adequate
mitigation
• Advisory boards are a good idea and give a good way of including
organisations that are important but not partners – get letters of support
and include them
• Justify resources – if you are the expert in the area why don’t you have
that vital bit of kit?

Hints and Tips – Writing the Proposal
• Write in plain English – spell out acronyms and no jargon or slang
• Follow the templates and respect the page limits - excess pages are
discarded!
• Check consistency between forms and written proposal
• Demonstrate a good understanding of other EU projects and initiatives
and how you will link in with them
• Don't assume anything!
• Write with the eyes of an evaluator and make it easy for them to give you
high marks. You start with 15/15 so give them what they need so they
don’t have to deduct points
• Get impartial colleagues to read it before submission – use the evaluation
criteria!

Become an EC Expert
• Experts used to evaluate proposals
• Evaluation is remote with a consensus meeting in Brussels/Prague
• €450/day but payment is often the smallest benefit
• Source of market intelligence in terms of information on who is doing
what and well… and who to avoid.
• Excellence source of potential and new partners for future consortiums
• Best proposal writing training you can find!
