Brexit takes its toll on British boffins

Funding cancelled

British boffins are headed towards the dark ages now that super soaraway Brexit has taken hold and the EU no longer sees the need to fund their projects.

More than 115 grants from a flagship EU research programme were terminated because of the continuing Brexit row over Northern Ireland.

One academic feared the UK was going down a "dark path" like Germany in the 1930s. One hundred and fifty grants were approved for British applicants after the then Brexit minister, David Frost, successfully negotiated associate membership of the $95.3 billion Horizon Europe programme but most will now be cancelled.

Beneficiaries in the UK were told by the European Research Council (ERC) that unless associate membership had been approved by 29 June, the grants would not be available unless the researchers moved their work to a European institution.
