Value of EU to UK chemistry revealed

Chemistry is one of the big winners when it comes to EU research funding – securing almost £55 million in 2014–15 alone. This is according to an analysis for the national academies, which found that chemistry was one of the top five disciplines when it came to attracting European money – behind only clinical medicine, biosciences and physics. It also relies heavily on that funding: on average, EU grants accounted for 23% of departmental funding in the same year.
