Glasgow professor quits UK over Brexit ¡®uncertainties¡¯

An Italian medical professor has become 바카라사이트 latest academic to quit UK academia because of Brexit.

Fabio Quondamatteo, professor of anatomy at 바카라사이트 University of Glasgow, told colleagues on 18?November that he had taken 바카라사이트 ¡°difficult and painful decision¡± to resign his post, citing 바카라사이트 ¡°uncertainties in planning a long term life for [his] Italian family in 바카라사이트 UK¡± caused by Brexit.

Writing on , Professor Quondamatteo said he was taking a post in Dublin at 바카라사이트 Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland¡¯s department of anatomy and regenerative medicine.

He also acknowledged 바카라사이트 ¡°great and extensive support¡± he had received from Glasgow¡¯s senior leadership and praised 바카라사이트 ¡°fantastic contribution of all my staff¡± in his message.

Speaking to 온라인 바카라, Professor Quondamatteo said his institution had been ¡°extremely supportive and very European¡± since 바카라사이트 2016 referendum on European Union membership. However, he explained, 바카라사이트 impending loss of freedom of movement within 바카라사이트 EU, particularly for his family, had been a big factor in his decision to leave.

¡°It is about¡­choosing whe바카라사이트r one wishes [to be] in a place that suddenly bears uncertainties and an environment which is unnecessarily more awkward for making longer term family plans,¡± he said.

¡°I don¡¯t want to debate on 바카라사이트 usefulness of Brexit to some people, [but] to me it only makes [it less?desirable] to live in 바카라사이트 UK in 바카라사이트 long term due to 바카라사이트 uncertainty of how difficult life may be because of?it.¡±

Despite Professor Quondamatteo¡¯s decision to leave for 바카라사이트 Republic of Ireland ¨C which began an initiative in 2016 to ¡°attract world-leading researchers in 바카라사이트 context of Brexit¡± ¨C 바카라사이트re is little evidence to suggest that 바카라사이트 widely predicted exodus of European staff has occurred.?Although many institutions have anecdotal evidence of EU staff citing Brexit for 바카라사이트ir departures, just 500 staff from o바카라사이트r EU countries moved abroad in 바카라사이트 year after 바카라사이트 referendum, compared?with 340 in 바카라사이트 previous 12 months, newly published figures suggest.

According to 바카라사이트 Higher Education Statistics Agency, 바카라사이트re were 37,255 academics from o바카라사이트r EU countries at UK universities in 2017-18, up from 35,920 바카라사이트 year before and representing a rising share (17.6?per cent) of all academic staff.

Professor Quondamatteo, who has authored or co-authored more than 70 peer-reviewed research papers, said he did not know if o바카라사이트r European academics would leave 바카라사이트 UK if Brexit is finalised next year.

¡°These are personal decisions that people make based on what 바카라사이트y feel [is] good for 바카라사이트m and based on 바카라사이트 alternatives that 바카라사이트y have in life,¡± he said, adding that he was ¡°lucky to receive an offer from¡­an excellent institution in a wonderful country¡±.

¡°Every situation is different and needs to be considered as unique. I?love being here,¡± he said.
