Sunak apparently disagrees.

Rishi Sunak holds back on rejoining Horizon after Brexit breakthrough

Senior colleagues said the UK prime minister was “sceptical” about the value of the research programme — the world’s biggest — and the cost of British participation. They added that he would “take stock” of options including the country’s “plan B” global research plan.

While Britain had been expected to contribute £15bn for the full seven-year Horizon programme, three years have already passed and the two sides must now agree how much the UK would have to provide.

Sunak’s hesitancy comes despite calls by UK scientists for Britain to re-enter Horizon, which many see as vital for research, investment and turning the country into a “science superpower”.
