Special Brexit Presentation by Dr Ian M Carter

The UK left the EU at the end of January 2020, but little has changed in that relationship yet as the country is in a transition period (i.e. all the old rules) until the end of 2020.

What happens after the end of the transition period is not yet known, as negotiations continue, probably up to the wire. In parallel, the EU has not yet agreed the terms on which non-member states can take part in its instruments, such as the R&D programme Horizon Europe, although some suggestions have emerged.

In parallel to this, the UK government has committed itself to an increase in R&D spending from £9 billion p.a. to £22 billion, changed some funding processes, is introducing a new immigration system, has published an R&D Roadmap, is changing its approach to development aid, and continues to snipe at universities over educational matters.

The UK and Australia have many similarities in their research and innovation systems, partly as a result of years of policy comparison and sharing.

Join Dr Ian M Carter to hear the latest on the UK research funding and policy scene, including thoughts on how the relationship with the EU and other countries might play out.
