the UK as a whole is the single largest beneficiary of the programme, ahead of Germany, Spain, Italy and France.
The UK will see a 46% increase in funding in the next 4 years, up to £8.5bn - 20% of all the grants signed off
"News of the increased Yorkshire funding has been welcomed by the head of Science City York, Heather Niven, who said it was “fantastic news” for both universities and business communities in the region. "
“Yorkshire and the Humber is becoming a real hotbed of science innovation and the Horizon 2020 funding will allow the region to further develop cutting edge research, leveraging additional focus and investment in areas such as agri-food, agri-tech and life sciences industries"
Former Science Minister David Willetts said: “Science in Yorkshire and the Humber has done very well out of EU research funding and this new analysis shows there is a good prospect of it doing even better in future.
"It goes beyond the immediate calculations of cash in and cash out, and shows the value of openness and collaboration in making British science great."
