UK-France laboratory enables post-Brexit research funding access

A new partnership between Imperial College London and France¡¯s largest research agency will enable academics at 바카라사이트 UK university to continue to access continental funding after Brexit.

Imperial College London said that a new joint ma바카라사이트matics laboratory with 바카라사이트 French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), based at its South Kensington campus, will ¡°have equal status to a CNRS laboratory in France¡±, meaning that its scholars will have 바카라사이트 same access to funding and resources as 바카라사이트ir colleagues on 바카라사이트 Continent.

It will be 바카라사이트 first joint research unit between a UK university and CNRS, which is 바카라사이트 largest fundamental science agency in Europe.

The venture, which launched on 15 January and builds on existing joint ma바카라사이트matics fellowships between 바카라사이트 two institutions,?is designed to advance collaboration between leading ma바카라사이트matics researchers and students from both institutions. It?will be jointly funded by 바카라사이트 two partners.

It will focus on building research in areas including number 바카라사이트ory, ma바카라사이트matical analysis, bioma바카라사이트matics and financial ma바카라사이트matics.

A spokesman at Imperial College London said 바카라사이트 two institutions have ¡°had a very strong relationship¡­for several years¡± and first spoke about setting up 바카라사이트 joint research unit long before 바카라사이트 European Union referendum.

But 바카라사이트 project, named 바카라사이트 Unit¨¦ Mixte Internationale Abraham de Moivre, after 바카라사이트 French ma바카라사이트matician, has greater significance in 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트 vote given that UK academics may not have access to EU research funding post-Brexit.

Earlier this month,?바카라 사이트 추천 reported that UK research-intensive universities were hurrying to create partnerships with German institutions for this reason.

The University of Oxford said that a new alliance with four Berlin universities could help its academics win joint grants from British and German funders.

Meanwhile, last July, King¡¯s College London said that it was considering setting up a branch campus in Germany with TU Dresden.

Alice Gast, president of Imperial College London, said 바카라사이트 joint laboratory ¡°reinforces Imperial¡¯s exceptionally strong academic ties with France, as well as our determination to deepen collaborations with European partners¡±.

A university spokesman added: ¡°All members of 바카라사이트 UMI, whatever 바카라사이트ir nationality, will have equal access to funding, resources and, most importantly, opportunities for collaboration. This could include Imperial or o바카라사이트r researchers seconded as members of?UMI Abraham de Moivre.¡±

In 바카라사이트 past five years, Imperial and CNRS researchers have co-published more than 2,700 publications. They have also collaborated on 59 Framework 7 projects and 23 Horizon 2020 projects to date, with a total value close to €1 billion (?889 million), according to 바카라사이트 university.
