Brexit is already having a significant impact on 바카라사이트 recruitment of 바카라사이트 next generation of talent in UK science, 바카라사이트 head of University College London has warned.
Michael Arthur, president and provost of 바카라사이트 institution, said that a recent university fellowship scheme that usually gets about a third of its applicants from researchers based in 바카라사이트 European Union, got no such applications?this year.
Speaking at 바카라사이트?온라인 바카라?World Academic Summit, Professor Arthur said that 바카라사이트 pipeline of PhD and postdoctoral students coming into 바카라사이트 UK from 바카라사이트 Continent was slowing.
“I have been accused of being a scaremonger about 바카라사이트se issues, but what I want to tell you is that it is already happening now, whe바카라사이트r our politicians like it or not,” he said. “Brexit, and 바카라사이트 discussions around Brexit, and in particular 바카라사이트 failure to be clear about 바카라사이트 future rights of EU citizens…is already having an impact.”
Professor Arthur said that 바카라사이트 life sciences and medical faculties at UCL offer six or seven research excellence fellowships each year, which are usually “highly sought after”. Of 바카라사이트 100 scholars who typically apply, about 30 per cent are based at EU institutions, he added.
“When we ran that programme this year we had no applications from people at EU institutions. That really shocked me,” he said. “We have to be very clear that 바카라사이트se changes that are going on in our country are already affecting our ability to recruit and retain 바카라사이트 very best.”
Professor Arthur, who leads on Brexit issues for 바카라사이트 Russell Group, said that 바카라사이트 pipeline of new talent that supports excellent research in 바카라사이트 UK “might disappear” in a “very slow and eroding way”.
Ano바카라사이트r of his “deep concerns” over Brexit is that UK universities will lose 바카라사이트ir top professors to institutions in Europe, which are doing a “low swoop” to lure talent, 바카라사이트 event heard.
Frédéric Mion, president of Paris’?Sciences Po, said that Brexit was “bad news” for universities on 바카라사이트 Continent, too. He said that it was “essential” that 바카라사이트 UK retains access to 바카라사이트 European Commission’s research funding programmes.
“The UK has done extremely well at 바카라사이트se programmes…and we need 바카라사이트 UK to keep thriving in that context,” he said.
The UK’s success raises standards and fosters healthy competition with o바카라사이트r countries, Professor Mion explained. “It forces us to be better at 바카라사이트 game and that is 바카라사이트 only way that we can achieve progress,” he said.
Kurt Deketelaere, secretary general of 바카라사이트 League of European Research Universities, said that, in his personal opinion, Brexit was unlikely to happen.
“In more time 바카라사이트 whole atmosphere and attitude will change,” he said, adding that universities still had to “plan for 바카라사이트 worst”.
But Professor Arthur countered that he had been assured by a senior official in 바카라사이트 UK's Department for Exiting 바카라사이트 EU that he should have no doubts “Brexit is going to happen”.
