Browsing the news

News content is organised under a number of topic headings. When you visit the News section, you will see a selection of our latest content along with navigation options allowing you to focus on a particular topic area such as UK or Europe. Each section has its own page of content relevant to that topic, as well as options to view more specific sub-topics such as Open Access or Horizon Europe.

Click on an article’s title to open it in a full-page view.

Receiving news updates

Whenever you are viewing one of the topic pages, you will see the Email me updates button on the right-hand side.

Clicking on this will register you for a daily update containing the latest news articles relevant to that topic. You can choose to receive updates on a number of different topic areas; these will be collected and sent out in a single email. If no new content is added on any given day, to any of the topics you have requested updates for, you will not receive an email.

To stop receiving updates on a topic, simply click the Turn off updates  button.
