Brexit

Published on | 5 years ago

Programmes Horizon 2020  

It is still unclear what the impact of the Brexit will be on Horizon 2020, the European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation running from 1 January 2014 till 31 December 2020. In the case of a 'no-deal' Brexit, the UK will be granted the status of a third country, with the result that UK participants and applicants will no longer have direct access to the budget of the predecessor of Horizon 2020, the 7th Framework Programme and Horizon 2020. In a "no deal" scenario, the UK government has committed to ensure that UK applicants are funded (underwrite guarantee) in all successful UK proposals submitted before the UK leaves the EU.

However, in a number of Horizon 2020 single-beneficiary programmes, third countries do not meet the current Horizon 2020 eligibility requirements to act as beneficiaries (such as European Research Council, SME Instruments and Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowships). It is expected that the European Commission will launch a webpage that will also try to answer Brexit Horizon 2020 questions. The latest information can be found in the Brexit fact sheet of the UK Research Office (UKRO) and the no-deal Brexit overview on this website.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
