UK to stay in Horizon Europe but drop out of Erasmus+
United Kingdom and European universities welcomed the UK’s decision to participate in the European Union’s €95.5 billion (US$117.3 billion) research and innovation programme, Horizon Europe, which was clarified by the terms of the recently announced future trade and cooperation agreement between the UK and the European Union.
But they voiced deep disappointment at the decision to drop out of Erasmus+, the student and academic staff study abroad and mobility programme.
UK students will no longer be able to study at a European university with an Erasmus+ grant from 1 January, and European students will not be supported by Erasmus+ to study in UK universities either.

Scientists in the US and Europe have come together in order to monitor and counteract the problem of rising sea levels. The global mean sea level has risen between 8-9 inches since 1880. A third of this rise in sea level has occurred over the past 25 years. Scientists from the US-based space exploration agency the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) collaborated with the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop an Earth-imaging satellite with new technology designed to monitor the rising sea level.Â
