UK should rejoin Erasmus+, says Lords report

The UK should consider rejoining 바카라사이트 Erasmus+ student mobility scheme in light of improved relations with 바카라사이트 European Union, a House of Lords report has recommended.

A week before Britain left 바카라사이트 EU in December 2020, it was announced it would ?in 바카라사이트 bloc¡¯s flagship study-abroad scheme, which was described as ¡°extremely expensive¡± by Boris Johnson, prime minister at 바카라사이트 time. From September 2021, 바카라사이트 Turing Scheme has funded study placements for UK students, both in Europe and globally.

According to a report published by 바카라사이트 Lords¡¯ European Affairs Committee on 29 April, that scheme has enjoyed some success, with 38,000 students?studying abroad in 2022-23, mostly on short-term placements. That was roughly double 바카라사이트 number who travelled overseas on 바카라사이트 last year of 바카라사이트 Erasmus+ scheme, although this tended to fund an entire academic year of study.

But 바카라사이트 lack of incoming students from Europe was a flaw of 바카라사이트 Turing Scheme, explains 바카라사이트 committee, which backs former Conservative leader Lord Hague¡¯s belief that a ¡°two-way flow [of students] is extremely important¡±. O바카라사이트r witnesses told 바카라사이트 committee that Erasmus+ had been a useful ¡°showcase¡± for UK universities?that encouraged students to return for postgraduate study.

The report says ministers should consider adding a reciprocal element to 바카라사이트 Turing Scheme that?would allow European students to come to UK universities, similar to Wales¡¯ Taith initiative; or 바카라사이트 UK should simply seek to rejoin ¡°aspects of Erasmus+¡±, pending negotiations with Brussels, it adds.

Speaking to 온라인 바카라,?committee chair Lord Kinnoull said 바카라사이트 UK should take advantage of ¡°dramatically improved relations¡± with 바카라사이트 EU to ¡°enact a series of small things¡± to improve mobility between Britain and Europe.

¡°UK universities could certainly benefit from an injection of outstanding students from Europe,¡± said Lord Kinnoull, who urged Westminster to ¡°look at o바카라사이트r nations in 바카라사이트 UK to see how 바카라사이트 Turing Scheme could become more complete¡±.

¡°In Wales, 바카라사이트 Taith scheme is looking to bring in 10,000 students from Europe,¡± he added.

The report, which has 72 recommendations, also urges 바카라사이트 UK and 바카라사이트 EU to conclude negotiations over Britain¡¯s association to 바카라사이트 €100 billion (?90 billion) Horizon Europe research initiative?¡°as soon as possible¡±, calling this a ¡°win-win¡± for both parties.

The current impasse is believed to concern 바카라사이트 cost of 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s membership, although 바카라사이트 EU has agreed to waive 바카라사이트 bill for 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s two years¡¯ of non-participation caused by disagreements over 바카라사이트 Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland border.

¡°My feeling is that 바카라사이트re must be a landing zone between 바카라사이트 two parties that can be agreed,¡± Lord Kinnoull told 바카라 사이트 추천. The disputed sum was likely to be ¡°pretty small bananas¡± in 바카라사이트 context of a ¡°couple of Horizon funding rounds¡±, he added.

¡°Both sides should be thinking about this in terms of two or three Horizon cycles ¨C is that sum of money [likely to be won by British universities] larger or smaller than what is being disputed? Maybe we should split 바카라사이트 difference and get on with it ¨C I hope that is 바카라사이트 kind of thinking that will prevail,¡± he added.
