UK needs to secure access to Europe’s multi-million-pound research fund as soon as possible, according to Nobel laureate Paul Nurse
‘We need to get this right to avoid being locked out,’ said medicine Nobel laureate and former Royal Society president Paul Nurse. He’s referring to Europe’s €100 billion (£88.5 billion) research fund, to which UK scientists might lose access post-Brexit if no deal is negotiated – a situation, he said, that would cause ‘a major blow to British science’.
