Colleagues from across the 探花直播 celebrated the announcement of an agreement for UK participation in Horizon Europe and Copernicus with the President of the European Research Council (ERC).
Dozens of ERC-funded and awarded researchers joined Professor Maria Leptin and Professor Anne Ferguson-Smith, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and International Partnerships, at an informal lunch reception held in the 探花直播鈥檚 Student Services building in the centre of Cambridge.
It comes after the government announced earlier this month that the UK would have access to Horizon, which is the world鈥檚 largest research collaboration programme, and Copernicus, the European Earth Observation programme.
Addressing the event, Professor Ferguson-Smith said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 hard to express the joy we鈥檝e all been feeling at the announcement of the UK鈥檚 association to Horizon Europe and Copernicus.
鈥淚t really is cause for celebration because this is a decision that will have enormous benefit to the whole UK research landscape.
鈥淚 am delighted also to welcome back Professor Maria Leptin, who as many of you know is no stranger to Cambridge.
鈥 探花直播ERC means a lot to us, not just because of the way it supports fundamental research but because of the way it helps nurture both early career researchers and those at subsequent stages giving them the freedom to do exciting original work.鈥
Professor Leptin then addressed the event, saying: 鈥淚t鈥檚 good to be back in Cambridge, I love being here. It鈥檚 especially good to see so many researchers from across sciences and humanities gathered here today.
鈥淚t鈥檚 great that we are back together like this, because this is about the unity of research from across Europe.鈥
