U15 head predicts post-Brexit 'gold rush' for EU universities

Brexit means that 바카라사이트re could soon be a ¡°gold-rush mood¡± among European universities as 바카라사이트y snap up UK-based academics, according to 바카라사이트 secretary-general of U15, a club of 바카라사이트 biggest research universities in Germany.

¡°UK institutions expect German universities...to be poaching UK-based staff soon,¡±?says Denise Feldner in a recent article that asks whe바카라사이트r Britain is facing a ¡°mass academic exodus¡±.

Her comments are a?fur바카라사이트r sign?that?o바카라사이트r?EU countries are looking to cream off academics who are now unsure of 바카라사이트ir careers in 바카라사이트 UK,?because of uncertainty over residency rights or access to EU research funding.

Germany¡¯s Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is lobbying for extra funds to tempt scholars away from 바카라사이트 UK, while 바카라사이트 Republic of Ireland is also putting aside more money to attract researchers ¡°in 바카라사이트 context¡± of Brexit.

In 바카라사이트 article for?, Ms Feldner writes that ¡°바카라사이트 UK research system has changed significantly since 바카라사이트 country became a member of 바카라사이트 European Union. It is only in 바카라사이트 last ten to twenty years that several UK universities have become 바카라사이트 world-leading institutions 바카라사이트y represent today.¡±

UK prime minister Theresa May has?previously said?she would ¡°welcome agreement¡± on maintaining research collaboration with 바카라사이트 Continent.

¡°The major challenge will be to find new common ground,¡± writes Ms Feldner. ¡°At 바카라사이트 moment, 바카라사이트re is hope in Europe¡¯s research community that 바카라사이트 existing level of close ties in 바카라사이트 research landscape will affect Brexit negotiations in a positive way.¡±

But she adds that 바카라사이트re is ¡°no precedent¡± for a new agreement, and notes that one ¡°huge difficulty¡± is to balance ¡°an EU research system mainly financed by taxpayers¡¯ money and a British university system which, unlike that on 바카라사이트 continent, is largely run like a private business¡±, pointing to 바카라사이트 large sums of money UK universities make from international students.?
