UK scientists are likely to be 'frozen out' of EU research programmes, a committee of MPs warns.

UK scientists are likely to be "frozen out" of EU research programmes because of delays in Brexit negotiations, according to MPs.

"This needs to be addressed swiftly, so we're calling on the government to lay out the steps it is taking to ensure UK participation is formalised." There have been growing fears that scientific collaboration had become a bargaining chip tied to negotiations over the Northern Ireland Protocol, which keeps the UK in the EU's single market after Brexit. Earlier this month, the EU's research commissioner, Mariya Gabriel, seemed to confirm these suspicions when she said "transversal issues need to be tackled first".

"This number is rising fast, as Horizon Europe, the world's largest and most successful co-funding scheme, gets into full swing, and the UK is stuck outside.
