While I think it will overall be bad for the UK, on the specific point of researchers in shared EU projects, that is a bit less tied to EU membership. The EU research programme doesn't require EU membership to join, or even quasi-membership of the EFTA/EEA variety. In fact Turkey recently joined it (in 2014). It does still require mutual agreement that may or may not happen, but I think a specific "a la carte" agreement on a programme like this one is less thorny than most other questions, since it isn't really tied with anything else (like common markets or immigration or anything else), except for agreeing to pay the membership dues.
- roel_v 10y agoUK partners are already being left out. I predict a generation of uk phd's that will just not exist - between now and when the whole thing is sorted out, funded and implemented - 3-4 years easily.
- Zelmor 10y agoFactually wrong, it is already happening. It is tied to funding for these projects. Project management are afraid of losing key research members when the funding doesn't come through from the UK. So they exclude UK researchers altogether until things biol over. Problem is, these researches could be years/decades long, and joining in the middle of it is way harder than during planning phase. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2016/jul/12/uk-scientists-dropped-from-eu-projects-because-of-post-brexit-funding-fears https://www.theguardian.com/education/2016/jul/12/uk-scienti...
