PF: When calculating the research experience for re-integration can time spent in the UK during the period of non-association (1 February 2020 to 1 January 2024) be deducted?

Yes, time spent in the UK during the non-association period counts as “time spent in a non-associated Third Country” for the research experience and this time can be deducted from the 8 years only for those researchers wishing to reintegrate to a EU Member State or a Horizon Europe Associated Country.  

By definition: “Researchers reintegrating to Europe from a non-associated Third Country must be based in the Third Country at the call deadline or have directly moved to Europe (i.e. any EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country) within the 12-month period immediately prior to the call deadline.”
