We are delighted to announce the launch of an expanded Pump Priming Scheme designed to support UK-based small and medium enterprises (SMEs), researchers, and Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) in their pursuit of Horizon Europe funding. This initiative offers small grants to enable eligible UK R&D organisations to form strong consortia, develop project ideas, and ultimately submit high-quality applications to Horizon Europe.
There are two separate but closely aligned Pump Priming schemes that UK-based entities can apply for: The British Academy and Innovate UK.
Applications are open from November 12, 2024, and we encourage all interested and eligible UK organisations to seize this opportunity. For further information on the specific details and requirements of each scheme, please consult the relevant delivery partners or your NICP Support Contact.
