British institutions do very well out of EU-funded research programmes. That money could dry up
OVERSEAS STUDENTS from EU countries make up around 5% of those in England and are treated the same way as local ones. They pay at most £9,250 a year for tuition and have access to generous state-provided loans to meet the cost. The government has promised to extend this support to EU students starting courses in 2019, but hasn’t said what will happen after then. In the event of a no-deal Brexit, it would have little incentive to extend financial support to EU students.
Worries over Brexit’s impact on science are centred on Britain’s participation in the EU’s seven-year-long research programmes. Horizon 2020, the current one, will dole out about €77bn between 2014 and 2020. Its successor, Horizon Europe, will have a budget of €100bn if the European Commission gets its way, though the figure that will eventually be agreed on by the EU is likely to be lower.
In the event of a no-deal Brexit, Britain would no longer be eligible for EU funding. However, the British government has agreed to underwrite for British researchers any successful application for Horizon 2020 grants made before the Brexit date. But British institutions charged with co-ordinating grants for partners in other EU countries face uncertainty.
On top of Horizon 2020 cash, British universities also receive research funding from EU-based charities and the private sector to the tune of around €100m. The future of such revenue streams will be more uncertain post-Brexit.
