Horizon: How the UK could regain its leading role in Europe’s R&D hub
After a three-year hiatus, the UK has rejoined Europe’s flagship research and development fund, Horizon Europe. The news has been welcomed with relief by the R&D sector, which keenly felt its exclusion, but uncertainty remains as to whether the UK can regain its leading role within the programme.
Germany should go big on nuclear fusion energy
There is a strong argument that the country should go all in on fusion, which promises to deliver safe, clean, carbon-free energy with none of the dangers of nuclear fission reactors. Not only would this approach solve Germany’s energy security needs, it could also create a highly lucrative new industry.
