EUA has published a short factsheet on the possible status of UK universities, particularly regarding participation in Horizon 2020 and Erasmus+. This factsheet, entitled “After the Brexit Referendum: Possible outcomes for Horizon 2020 and Erasmus+,” is intended to shed some light on the different options and possibilities within the EU system to find a new relation that could allow the UK to continue as an integral part of the family of European universities.

After the vote in the UK to leave the European Union, there has been much discussion about the future of universities after Brexit. Since June, EUA has been gathering evidence regarding the possible outcomes of Brexit for European programmes for research and higher education.

EUA stresses the importance of underlining and demonstrating the existing ties and collaborations and the key role that the UK plays.
