UK to return to EU’s flagship Horizon science research programme (www.theguardian.com)

Britain’s membership of Horizon, which funds research projects tackling crucial issues from the climate crisis to terminal diseases and improving food and energy security, was agreed as part of the post-Brexit trade deal in 2020. But it was never ratified in a tit-for-tat row between the EU and the UK over Northern Ireland Brexit arrangements.

I actually think the opposite. Moves like this are part of a slow transition towards one of the awkward "basically a non-voting member but the population takes pride in not being a member" situations like we see with Norway or Switzerland

We hated having a significant veto power to laws/projects we didn't like. Now we'll just adopt them for convenience with no seat at the table. :)
