What would leaving the EU with no deal mean for science and innovation?
Summary of contents
A ‘no deal’ exit from the EU would have profound, negative consequences for the UK chemical sciences with regards to, but not limited to, three main issues, all interlinked and playing an important part in UK science's success:
- Participation in EU funding programmes
- The mobility of scientists
- The future of chemical regulations for the UK
We are clear that ‘no deal’ is not in the interests of chemical sciences. We believe that it would undermine the reputation of UK science and innovation, as well as damage our influence and status as a world leader.
