BBC : In the wake of the Brexit referendum, the head of the Royal Society says that he wants the British government to underwrite funding for UK-based researchers who are applying for EU research grants. In an interview, Venki Ramakrishnan said that some UK researchers are already being excluded from EU collaborations because of uncertainty over the effect of Brexit on the researchers’ status and grant funding. To avoid that loss of access, Ramakrishnan said the UK should guarantee the continuation of any funding that UK-based researchers receive from the EU for the duration of the grant.
