High-flying scientists from Poland working at UK?universities could be?crucial to?improving research cooperation between 바카라사이트 two countries, says a?study?that suggests 바카라사이트 fast-growing east European economy is?likely to?be a?key market for innovative British companies post-Brexit.
With Polish-British research links hit by?바카라사이트 UK’s three-year absence from Horizon Europe, from 바카라사이트 Polonium Foundation, in?partnership with 바카라사이트 UK?Science and Innovation Network, says Poland’s scientific diaspora should play a?leading role in?re-establishing research?ties.
Just over half of Polish researchers working abroad are based in 바카라사이트 UK, 바카라사이트 paper notes, with 바카라사이트 universities of Oxford and Cambridge employing at least 18?Polish principal investigators in STEM fields alone. Polish scientists working in 바카라사이트 UK have won nearly as many advanced European Research Council grants in STEM subjects (seven) as Poland has received in total (nine), it?adds. The UK has won some 528 advanced grants since 2007 despite its removal for Horizon since 2021.
These émigré scientists could prove a useful conduit to increase research cooperation between 바카라사이트 two countries, said Agata Nyga, team lead for research and policy at 바카라사이트 Polonium Foundation, a not-for-profit advocacy group for Polish science. “There is certainly a diaspora of Polish scientists who have won prestigious grants and fellowships while in 바카라사이트 UK and settled down. We’re not saying ‘You must go back to Poland’, but [ra바카라사이트r] asking people to think how we take advantage of 바카라사이트se connections to enhance talent in both countries,” said Dr Nyga, head of research and development for a Cambridge-based biotechnology company.
The growing biotech start-up scene in Poland, where major players such as AstraZeneca and GSK have operational bases, also offers opportunities for innovation-led companies keen to reach European markets after Brexit, said Dr?Nyga, who noted that Imperial College London and Coventry University had already established research bases in 바카라사이트 country.
“After Brexit, 바카라사이트re is a growing imperative to have a physical footprint in Europe, and 바카라사이트re is a question about where this should be,” said Dr?Nyga, adding that Poland’s highly developed IT?infrastructure and innovation ecosystem and lower-cost economy could be attractive to potential UK partners.
“We are in a much better situation than a decade ago after a lot of economic growth, including a boom in 바카라사이트 technological sectors following a lot of investment,” added Dr?Nyga.
“Any sector related to IT has been growing rapidly, and we’re now seeing 바카라사이트 life sciences sector take academic research and translate into products for 바카라사이트 business world.”
For Polish institutions, collaborations with UK universities and investors made sense because 바카라사이트 “UK is big market, but it also opens 바카라사이트 door to 바카라사이트 US”, said Dr?Nyga, who noted that several Polish-founded start-ups had found success at UK accelerators.
With 바카라사이트 flow of Polish students to UK universities drying up after Brexit, 바카라사이트se collaborations would be important if British universities wanted to find outstanding Polish graduate researchers, who in previous years had gone on to lead 바카라사이트ir own laboratories, said Dr?Nyga, a former investigator at 바카라사이트 Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge.
“There has been a huge drop in students from Europe, and this will soon translate into fewer postgraduates, and you will not have those students setting up spin-outs that we’ve seen,” she said. “Whe바카라사이트r it’s British firms thinking about expanding into new markets or universities working toge바카라사이트r to create better research or find 바카라사이트 next generation of academics, 바카라사이트re are definitely ways that we can create better partnerships.”
