More leading researchers brought to the UK, while Horizon Europe performance strengthens in 2024

Imported from official source

UK research organisations attract new wave of 10 leading international researchers, and new performance stats highlight UK’s progress as part of Horizon Europe.

  • UK research organisations attract new wave of 10 leading international researchers to drive breakthroughs in clean energy, life sciences and advanced technologies through UKRI’s Global Talent Fund. 
  • Expansion of the Global Talent visa to around 100 businesses by July set to fast-track research and boost growth.  
  • New performance stats highlight UK’s progress as part of Horizon Europe, with share of funding climbing to 9.3%. 

    • The UK is cementing its status as a global magnet for cutting-edge scientific research, with a cohort of ten leading researchers set to take up new roles supported by the Global Talent Fund. 

    Launched last summer with 8 researchers previously announced, the Fund’s dedicated pot of £54 million looks to attract top international talent to the UK to drive forward their work in critical areas like Life Sciences, Clean Energy, and AI – all vital strands of the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy. 

  • Professor Bryony DuPont (joining Strathclyde from Oregon State University, US), who will use AI to improve energy systems and make them more resilient to our changing environment. 
  • Dr Ivana Bukvin (joining the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, from Stanford University, US) will pursue research into proteins which improves our understanding of ageing and neurodegeneration to help tackle diseases like Huntington’s. 

    • Today is a key milestone for the Global Talent Fund, with all 12 Global Talent Fund research organisations having successfully recruited international candidates, demonstrating strong delivery against initial programme objectives. 

    In a further boost to the UK’s support for international researchers, UKRI is expanding its Global Talent visa fast-track route.
