July 6th 2016 - Research Councils UK (RCUK)
have published a press release underlining the fact that success of UK research
is dependent on best UK researchers collaborating with partners and sharing
facilities across international boundaries. As stated, RCUK are committed to
enabling and facilitating collaborations between UK researchers and
international partners in Europe and across the world. Following the UK’s
referendum vote to leave the European Union the RCUK are working with UK
research communities and with Government to ensure that the UK is well placed to
maintain its place as a leading research nation. While the UK remains a full
member of the European Union they encourage researchers to continue to engage
with partners in the EU and with European funding schemes as normal. The RCUK
recognise that there is uncertainty about the future of the UK’s relationship
with the EU in general and specifically affecting aspects of the research
system. They are working with Government to ensure that the concerns and needs
of UK researchers are represented and are considered in the negotiation of a
future relationship with the EU.
The entire press release is accessible on the
RCUK webpage.
