Brexit: UK is out, what does it mean for Science?
On 31 January 2020 at 11 p.m., the UK has left the EU and has entered a transition period, which freezes its relationship with the European Union until 31 December 2020. Therefore, until 2021, nothing changes for science: scientists from UK can still apply to European research funding and take part in exchange scheme, and vice versa. Therefore, the UK remains a full member of Erasmus+ and Horizon 2020. What will mainly change is that now, negotiations between the EU and the UK starts regarding the UK’s participation in Horizon Europe and Erasmus+ as on 1 January 2021.
