| Comment | I mean research funding, the UK has received over 7 billion euros in research grants from the EU Horizon 2020 programme (out of 77bn total)
Obviously we also pay into that funding, but participation was always net positive for the UK because our universities are good and so we win a lot more funding out of the funds than we pay in - 2nd only to Germany
The Brexit deal keeps us in Horizon 2020 (thank god, otherwise there would be a lot of redundancies) but no guarantee we'll get to be part of the next 100bn programme starting in 2022, which is a massive loss to university finances, and the UK government hasn't made any guarantees it'll cover the losses |
