Inquiry on preparations for no deal

29 January 2019

The UK leaving the EU without a deal is one of the biggest threats our universities have ever faced. This was the key message in an open letter to MPs from the Russell Group, Universities UK, Guild HE, Million Plus and University Alliance – which collectively represent more than 150 higher education providers across the UK.

Immediate key consequences of a No Deal Brexit for universities include:

• Loss of access to Horizon 2020 and the funding that brings
• Uncertainty over access to the Erasmus+ programme for students studying overseas
• Uncertainty for EU staff and students at our universities
• Supply chain and procurement.
