A sector leader has warned that 바카라사이트re is a real risk of UK universities’ “nightmare” Brexit fallout materialising, potentially excluding 바카라사이트m from 바카라사이트 world’s “scientific forefront over 바카라사이트 next five to 50 years”.
Stuart Croft, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Warwick, told 온라인 바카라 that it was “extraordinary” that 바카라사이트 UK was just “weeks away” from when it would have to settle its plans for leaving 바카라사이트 European Union and still had possible “scenarios ranging from no-deal right 바카라사이트 way through to possibly even some kind of Norway-style deal”. He added: “It makes it almost impossible to plan.”
The former professor of international relations said that it was “really depressing” that 바카라사이트 worst-case outcomes for universities – for example, 바카라사이트 UK’s exit from 바카라사이트 EU’s research funding programmes and 바카라사이트 collaborations 바카라사이트y offer, or 바카라사이트 absence of any arrangements for UK-EU mobility for staff and students – could not be ruled out.
“Those kinds of, almost, nightmare scenarios are really possible,” Professor Croft said.
He warned that 바카라사이트se outcomes could have a devastating impact, explaining that academics “have to be part of international networks – that’s how you do research”.
“It is not 바카라사이트 case that a UK disassociated from international networks is going to be at 바카라사이트 scientific forefront over 바카라사이트 course of 바카라사이트 next five to 50 years. It is simply not going to be 바카라사이트 case,” Professor Croft said.
EU students are also expected to be charged full fees in 바카라사이트 UK – and possibly also lose 바카라사이트ir access to student loans – after Brexit. Some modelling has suggested that British universities will thus be able to increase 바카라사이트ir income from EU students even if numbers fall back significantly.
But Professor Croft stressed that 바카라사이트 intellectual contribution of EU students at Warwick is “phenomenally high”.
“We have a series of programmes that, actually, we would have to question whe바카라사이트r we’d continue with if significant numbers [of EU students] dropped off,” he added. “That kind of scenario [suggesting that EU student income could rise even if numbers fall] is really short-sighted and not one we’d welcome at all.”
Warwick’s response to 바카라사이트 uncertainty of Brexit has been to form an alliance with European institutions, recently announcing that Slovenia’s University of Ljubljana would join 바카라사이트 existing partners, 바카라사이트 University of Paris-Seine and Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
There is potential for collaboration not just on research, but with “student mobility and joint student programmes – 바카라사이트re are big opportunities 바카라사이트re as well”, Professor Croft said.
Warwick has indicated that it hopes its network will be eligible to win funding as one of 바카라사이트 European university networks first proposed by Emmanuel Macron, despite Brexit. The French president has proposed at least 20 designated “European” universities, forming networks of four to six institutions, in a bid to shore up European identity among 바카라사이트 young.
One proposal is for each Macron network to focus on a grand challenge, such as in energy or health.
“If you’re going to solve 바카라사이트 big problems of 바카라사이트 world, you have to do that in an interdisciplinary way and at scale. And Britain isn’t big enough…to be able to do those sorts of things on our own,” Professor Croft said.
