UK scientists risk losing millions in EU funds
By EUobserver
The European Research Council, an offshoot of the EU Commission, has warned 98 British academics that their grants, totalling €172m, would not be paid out if the UK did not ratify its associate membership of the EU's Horizon Europe science programme, The Guardian reports. Ratification has been delayed due to the UK's non-implementation of the Northern Ireland protocol, a part of the Brexit deal governing customs matters.
