BREXIT – Opportunity or Threat for Irish Research?

 

Kindly sponsored by

Enterprise Ireland  & The RFT Group

Venue:  Davenport Hotel, Dublin
Time: 2.30pm 4th October 2016h

Followed by networking reception

One of the many consequences of BREXIT could be a change in eligibility of UK researchers for participation in EU Framework programmes.  It is reported that EU researchers may already be excluding UK research groups from consortia due to uncertainties about their future status.  UK research partners are in 13.4% of all projects involving Irish partners in the Horizon 2020 programme, which makes them Ireland’s most popular partner country in the EU. 

 

This meeting will review the potential consequences of BREXIT for UK research, and the knock-on effects for Irish researchers.
