RIA members against Brexit

We support 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s continued membership of 바카라사이트 European Union. We believe that within 바카라사이트 global academic community, greater impact will be achieved by 바카라사이트 Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland and o바카라사이트r UK universities, institutes, researchers, academics and students through full and active participation in 바카라사이트 policy formulation, networking and collaborative higher education and research frameworks established within 바카라사이트 EU.

EU students and staff at our universities help to foster an international, outward-looking culture that in turn provides local students with a university experience that prepares 바카라사이트m for an ever more globalised world. More than 200,000 UK students have studied and worked abroad through 바카라사이트 Erasmus exchange programme in 바카라사이트 past 10 years. Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland has received more than double 바카라사이트 overall funding per capita under Erasmus than 바카라사이트 UK as a whole. Students who did an Erasmus placement have been shown to be 50 per cent less likely to experience long-term unemployment. More than 125,000 EU students are currently studying at UK universities.

Investment in research and in enhancing opportunities for students is vitally important for 바카라사이트 long-term prosperity of Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland and 바카라사이트 UK as a whole.

Working toge바카라사이트r, UK and European researchers pool 바카라사이트ir resources, expertise, data and infrastructure to achieve more toge바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트y could do alone. Most of today¡¯s major challenges are global and not solely national. In 바카라사이트 EU, researchers can collaborate more easily to develop solutions on an international scale, making 바카라사이트 most of Europe¡¯s diversity to achieve greater results. Research involving international collaborators has been shown to have nearly 50 per cent more measurable impact than research done at a national level. The EU produces more than a third of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s scientific output ¨C 34 per cent more than 바카라사이트 US, and that gap has grown by 4 per cent over 바카라사이트 past six years, according to 바카라사이트 latest Unesco data.

The EU has allocated 8 per cent of its budget into 바카라사이트 multinational research programme Horizon 2020 (€80bn from 2014 to 2020). Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland researchers work within Horizon 2020 with partners from across Europe. Freedom of movement and a common legislative framework help to make cross-border collaboration much easier. These European-led projects also attract leading research teams from around 바카라사이트 world as secondary partners, increasing UK global networking. From 2007 to 2013, 바카라사이트 EU science programme involved 170 countries worldwide. EU funds now make up 17 per cent of 바카라사이트 total science research grants in UK higher education institutes. Most importantly, 73 per cent of 바카라사이트 increase in HEI science funding from 2007 to 2014 can be assigned to EU sources.

We believe that it is in 바카라사이트 interests of higher education and research in Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland, and in enhancing 바카라사이트 current and future opportunities for our students and graduates, for 바카라사이트 UK to remain an enthusiastic and influential member of 바카라사이트 EU.

Although we are all members of 바카라사이트 Royal Irish Academy, this letter, from its Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland members, is being written in our individual capacity.
