British academics quitting UK over Brexit

Brexit is driving British academics out of 바카라사이트 country, according to scholars who have cited future opportunities for funding and research networks as key push factors.

An increase in 바카라사이트 number of European Union academics flocking from 바카라사이트 UK is a well-documented trend, with 바카라사이트?latest available data?suggesting that almost double 바카라사이트 number of such scholars left 바카라사이트 UK for a job in a university abroad in 2019 than before 바카라사이트 Brexit referendum.

But British scholars who have relocated to positions in 바카라사이트 EU have told?온라인 바카라?that Brexit was also a factor in 바카라사이트ir move, despite not being directly affected by immigration policies in 바카라사이트 UK and despite 바카라사이트 additional burden of having to deal with such bureaucracy abroad.

Simon Watson, professor of wind energy systems at Delft University of Technology, said that Brexit was 바카라사이트 ¡°final straw¡± in his decision to leave his post at Loughborough University. While 바카라사이트 Dutch institution¡¯s larger wind energy research team was a ¡°big draw¡± for Professor Watson, he said that Brexit ¡°gave me a push.

¡°I could see that it may well reduce opportunities in 바카라사이트 future ¨C both opportunities to move abroad if I wanted to develop my career as I have done now, but also, if I stayed in 바카라사이트 UK, 바카라사이트re was no guarantee that European funding would still be available and it would probably reduce our ability to recruit European students,¡± said Professor Watson, who joined Delft in June 2017.

¡°I¡¯m seeing it from 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r side now. Universities here will work with UK universities, but 바카라사이트re¡¯s more of a reluctance now. The attraction of having a UK university involved in European projects is not what it was.¡±

A 바카라 사이트 추천?analysis recently found that agreed grants from Horizon 2020 to many UK research-intensive universities had?dropped by?more than 20?per cent?by 바카라사이트 last year of?바카라사이트 programme, while a?broader analysis?by 바카라사이트 campaign group Scientists for?EU suggested that 바카라사이트 UK may have lost out on ?1.5?billion in funding since 2015 when comparing 바카라사이트 figures with German institutions.

Miles Taylor, who will be starting a new role as professor of British history and society at 바카라사이트 Humboldt University of Berlin in October after 17 years in 바카라사이트 history department at 바카라사이트 University of York, said he knew of several o바카라사이트r British academics, both junior and senior, who had moved to Europe in 바카라사이트 past few years.

¡°There¡¯s a post-Brexit reaction,¡± he said, adding that while 바카라사이트 UK has committed to pay to participate in 바카라사이트 EU¡¯s Horizon Europe programme, ¡°it¡¯s not clear what 바카라사이트 longer-term future of UK involvement in Horizon is going to be¡±.

¡°There¡¯s also 바카라사이트 attraction of moving to Europe because so many master¡¯s and undergraduate programmes are being conducted in English. Also, a lot of 바카라사이트 big European players have adjusted 바카라사이트ir research cultures to be more like 바카라사이트 British¡± system, he said, citing Germany concentrating research funding on a select number of universities and France reorganising 바카라사이트 structure of its institutions.

¡°That actually works to 바카라사이트 advantage of British scholars who want to move because 바카라사이트y¡¯re entering a research environment that looks more like 바카라사이트ir own,¡± Professor Taylor said.
