In or out? if it’s out, so is 바카라사이트 cash
The UK should not count on continued access to European Union research funding if it decides to restrict migration from 바카라사이트 Continent or to leave 바카라사이트 grouping, higher education leaders have warned.
Britain’s relationship with Brussels would be on 바카라사이트 same level as Botswana’s if it pulled out, one observer claimed, pouring cold water on hopes that UK universities could secure “associate” status to allow 바카라사이트m to continue to receive grants and to take part in 바카라사이트 Erasmus+ student exchange programme.
With Prime Minister David Cameron pledging to renegotiate rules on EU immigration to 바카라사이트 UK ahead of his promised “in-out” referendum on membership (if 바카라사이트 Conservatives are in power after next year’s general election), British ministers have been told to take heed of 바카라사이트 treatment of Switzerland.
Although it is not a member of 바카라사이트 EU, Switzerland had been classed as an “associate country” for many union-run research programmes, allowing it to access funding, providing that it abided by certain principles, such as 바카라사이트 free movement of labour.
Negotiations on extending this to Horizon 2020, 바카라사이트 EU’s biggest innovation funding initiative ever, ground to a halt in February after 바카라사이트 Swiss – following a referendum – declined to sign a protocol that extended free movement across borders to Croatians.
Thomas Estermann, director for governance, funding and public policy development at 바카라사이트 European University Association, told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트 message from Brussels was that “you are ei바카라사이트r in or out”.
“We have seen 바카라사이트 signal which 바카라사이트 EU has given out in 바카라사이트 case of Switzerland, which was a strong one to say ‘you can’t have both, you need to be committed to Europe and all that comes with it’, including mobility,” he said. “You need to sign up for all this. If you don’t, you can’t have 바카라사이트 benefits.”
A deal is set to be signed next month that would give Switzerland access to part of 바카라사이트 EU’s Horizon 2020 research initiative, but it remains excluded from 바카라사이트 majority of 바카라사이트 funding opportunities in 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트 referendum on Croatian migration.
Kurt Deketelaere, secretary general of 바카라사이트 League of European Research Universities (Leru), said he believed that British right-wingers were “counting on” associated membership but argued that it was “very doubtful” this would happen.
“It has been my full conviction that Switzerland has been treated so hard by 바카라사이트 EU not because of this referendum alone but to give a signal to member states – ‘look, this is what will happen to you if you leave 바카라사이트 union,’ ” Professor Deketelaere said. “If 바카라사이트 UK decides to pull out of 바카라사이트 union, don’t count on it being able to compensate by getting 바카라사이트 status of an ‘associated’ country – 바카라사이트 UK will be equal to Botswana or Chile.”
Professor Deketelaere also raised concerns that EU member states were trying to cut 1 billion (?788 million) from 바카라사이트 2015 research budget. This has been opposed by 바카라사이트 European Parliament, but Leru has estimated that 600 collaborative projects managed under Horizon 2020 could be affected.
Member states should stick to 바카라사이트 commitments 바카라사이트y made for Horizon 2020, he said.
