In the event of a no-deal Brexit, the UK will become a third country and the UK government Underwrite Guarantee will come into effect. This guarantees the UK Governments commit to protect current ongoing projects in Horizon 2020 and also to pay for successful UK grant applications for funding streams open to third country participation (i.e. multi-beneficiary grants) which are submitted after the UK leaves the EU. The UK government would financially guarantee the funding UK participants would have otherwise received from the EU.

The future participation of the UK in any European Union programmes has yet to be determined. It will be agreed in any negotiations that follow the date of the UK exit from the EU.
