PM Brexit speech: UK will ¡®welcome¡¯ deal on European research

Theresa May has signalled that 바카라사이트 UK will ¡°welcome agreement¡± on continuing research collaboration with Europe and will ¡°manage properly¡± future student flows from 바카라사이트 European Union.

The prime minister¡¯s speech today on 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s plans for future relations with 바카라사이트 EU may be seen by universities as a signal that 바카라사이트 government will seek to remain within 바카라사이트 union¡¯s research programmes.

But 바카라사이트re will be questions on whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 EU would allow 바카라사이트 UK to remain in Horizon 2020 and future research programmes as an associated country, if 바카라사이트 nation refuses to accept free movement of people. Ms May again made clear that 바카라사이트 UK would take ¡°control¡± of immigration from 바카라사이트 EU.

Pledging to control immigration to Britain from Europe as ano바카라사이트r of her goals, Ms May added: ¡°We will continue to attract 바카라사이트 brightest and 바카라사이트 best to work or study in Britain ¨C indeed openness to international talent must remain one of this country¡¯s most distinctive assets ¨C but that process must be managed properly so that our immigration system serves 바카라사이트 national interest.

¡°So we will get control of 바카라사이트 number of people coming to Britain from 바카라사이트 EU.¡±

One of Ms May¡¯s 12 points in her plan for Britain¡¯s future covered science and research.

¡°A global Britain must also be a country that looks to 바카라사이트 future,¡± she said. ¡°That means being one of 바카라사이트 best places in 바카라사이트 world for science and innovation.

¡°One of our great strengths as a nation is 바카라사이트 breadth and depth of our academic and scientific communities, backed up by some of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s best universities. And we have a proud history of leading and supporting cutting-edge research and innovation.

¡°So we will also welcome agreement to continue to collaborate with our European partners on major science, research, and technology initiatives.¡±

The EU has made Switzerland¡¯s associated country membership of Horizon 2020 conditional on its continuing to accept free movement ¨C with some suggesting this may set a precedent in negotiations with 바카라사이트 UK.
