UK government urged to prioritise science in Brexit negotiations
There is still uncertainty over future access to funding and the free flow of talent
As Brexit approaches, concern remains about the lack of clarity on key issues relating to science and innovation, such as access to funding, regulation and immigration policies. The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee is calling on the government to remove science from the wider Brexit trade negotiations and make drafting a science and innovation agreement an urgent priority, with the aim of having one in place by October 2018.
