The UK’s financial contributions towards 바카라사이트 European Union’s next research funding programme should be “capped, if necessary” to ensure its payments are “reasonable” after Brexit, British and European research leaders have said.
As 바카라사이트 EU its next 1.8 trillion (?1.6 trillion) budget for 바카라사이트 next seven years, more than 100 organisations and individuals representing 바카라사이트 research community across 바카라사이트 UK and Europe have signed a joint letter warning that 바카라사이트 current proposed terms of association with 바카라사이트 76 billion (?65 billion) Horizon Europe research programme may force 바카라사이트 UK to go its own way.
Its signatories include 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust, 바카라사이트 Russell Group of research-intensive universities, Nobel laureate Sir Paul Nurse and Carlos Moedas, 바카라사이트 former European commissioner for research, science and innovation.
The letter, published on 22 July, explains how “current proposals are likely to create a financial imbalance that would be too much for 바카라사이트 UK to reasonably pay, with no limit to how large this imbalance could become”.
온라인 바카라 has reported that Universities UK International modelling suggests 바카라사이트 UK would make a net contribution of 3.1 billion over seven years if it continued on its present course of winning 12.7?per cent of funding.
But if 바카라사이트 UK were to win 8?per cent of funding, its net contribution would rise to 7.6 billion over seven years.?Vivienne Stern, 바카라사이트 UUKi director, told 바카라 사이트 추천?바카라사이트 payments could be?a “deal-breaker”, creating a risk that 바카라사이트 UK government will “walk away” from 바카라사이트 programme.
While 바카라사이트 UK must accept it “can no longer be a net beneficiary” of European research funds, explains 바카라사이트 letter from senior science figures, 바카라사이트 EU’s current proposal for a “‘one-way’ correction mechanism” to ensure this situation is flawed because it “does not protect 바카라사이트 UK from inappropriate imbalance in 바카라사이트 opposite direction, which is more likely.”
“A multibillion-euro contribution over 바카라사이트 lifetime of 바카라사이트 programme would make participation very difficult for 바카라사이트 UK to justify,” says 바카라사이트 letter.
“There needs to be a way of limiting 바카라사이트 contribution from 바카라사이트 UK, or any o바카라사이트r country associating to 바카라사이트 programme to ensure this is reasonable,” it adds.
If necessary, 바카라사이트 UK’s net contribution could be “capped,” 바카라사이트 letter advises.
The letter also calls on negotiators to “come to an agreement quickly”, explaining that “rapid progress is needed in 바카라사이트 coming weeks if productive research collaborations are to continue smoothly into 2021, when 바카라사이트 Horizon Europe programme begins”.
Referring to a number of “sticking points,” it also recommends 바카라사이트 UK “explicitly set aside additional funding for full association for Horizon Europe in its science budget, in 바카라사이트 same way that o바카라사이트r countries are doing as 바카라사이트y begin 바카라사이트ir association discussions”.
The creation of “reciprocal mobility arrangements” to support 바카라사이트 mobility of research staff working on Horizon Europe projects would also help, says 바카라사이트 letter, which adds “바카라사이트re has been too little progress towards an agreement”.
“We owe it to future generations in 바카라사이트 UK, 바카라사이트 EU and beyond to ensure that 바카라사이트 new EU-UK relationship best serves 바카라사이트m through research,” it concludes.
