    "MP tells me UK academics being asked to take name off funding applications for joint research grants by European colleagues post Brexit "

    This is going to be uber shit for UK universities

    • That's utterly retarded
      ********
    • ^ how is it retarded - if not part of the EU then surely not eligible. Not good at all - the fallout will be everywhere. The 52% hadn't really thought thisfadein11
    • through.fadein11
    • Surely not eligible?
      ********
    • Besides, we haven't even left yet..
      ********
    • How can UK scientists apply for EU grants (joint or not) if no longer part of the EU?fadein11
    • If the EU is a dictatorship bent on power it would be vindictive to the UK if it exits. There is more harm for the UK to do well independently to the poweryurimon
    • structure than it is for the UK to fail. so you will get your answer on the intent via action. If you create an economic environmen for prosperity then you dontyurimon

    • 4-5 years and the uncertainty means scientists are unwilling to risk longer term viability of projects.lowimpakt
    • fadein11, UK scientists, if article 50 enacted, could still become partners in EU funded projects. Loads of non-EU countries can. The issue is that the...lowimpakt
    • Yurimon didn't say for a second that the EU instructed anyone to exclude UK researchers...
      ********
    • eligibility criteria are harder (no automatic eligibility) and the funding amounts can be lesslowimpakt
    • ... and we haven't left the EU yet, and may still not. That is why it is retarded.
      ********
