In the UK, members of the science and research community are delighted at Britain's deal with the EU to rejoin the Horizon Europe scheme, the world's largest civilian science research programme. "It's the deal we've all been waiting for and I'm so pleased that it's been secured today," says Professor Sarah Main, Executive Director of the Campaign for Science and Engineering. UCL Vice-Provost Professor Geraint Rees adds it will allow UK institutions to "really lead on some of the research that's most important today." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
