After Switzerland voted on a stricter immigration policy in 2014, few believed the decision to affect the turn of events tekevästi also universities. The alpine country’s decision sought to limit the uneducated people of the country income, but at the same time depleted, also a top researcher of flow.

even Though Switzerland known to not belong to the European Union, are its universities, scientists, special agreements had a strong network, a major EU science funding for research projects and led to many of them.

In 2014, after all of this crumble.

the Swiss politicians are not EU-funding at the end of hetkahtanut you, but rather the promised wealth of the country funding sufficient scientific conclusion.

They do not, however, understand that today’s cutting-edge research is done in larger networks, involving scientists from many countries.

the university of Geneva in government, the Biocenter Finland director Marja Makarow has seen, how the Swiss situation has developed in five years.

– Unexpected consequences of EU framework programme funding was frozen the same way for the reason that the people and the free movement of goods, ideas and finanssien free movement, are fundamental EU principles. Research funding freezing had serious consequences for the Swiss research and innovation, Makarow said.

Marja Makarow has previously served the academy of Finland director general and the university of Helsinki vice-rector. He is also a Millennium technology prize to share the Technology Academy finland-the foundation chairman.

the Swiss top universities, scientists lost not only the opportunity to participate in EU-funded research projects also connect to their networks.

in Europe, lonely or completely national research group is not there, where excellent research is conducted, but the quality of the research base on diversity. It brings transnational consortia, Makarow said.

the Swiss researchers are no longer taken according to the projects which applied for EU framework programme funding. It is feared that their presence may prevent funding. Now similarly, there is a danger to visit the the Uk at.

the Swiss model is playing in the Uk

Marja Makarow sees the british universities and academics threatening the same development, which began five years ago in Switzerland.

– If the contracts for difference will, so exactly the same happens in the Uk. Union research funding will stop and the same collaboration patterns.

in Europe is also an excellent research equipment, i.e. infrastructure. It involves expensive equipment, which the individual states cannot afford to maintain.

the British researchers would no longer have the possibility of using these devices in the future.

British traditional top universities such as Oxford and Cambridge have previously collected the world’s best researchers. Makarow was also a british innovation system, scientific administrative and financial practices have been a model for the rest of the world.

Now in these renowned universities are waiting with horror for the future brexit members. For example, the university of Cambridge is makarow was already based in germany’s Munich their own units.

International researchers, the removal of these Oxford and Cambridge splendor of the universities immediately began to Britain after a referendum three years ago and there is new talent coming european funding, Makarow says.

If no agreement brexit comes, it does not makarow, according to suffer only the british study. Other european research suffers from exactly the same way.

Marja Makarow wrote on this topic a September article in The guardian (you move to another service). The script attracted attention and SkyNewsin supplier of spy makarow from, are you british academics boycott out.

the EU-the difference between run of the prime minister of Boris Johnson is, in turn, convinced (you move to another service) british scientists which came along with national funding.

Finnish researchers suffer with the others

in the Future, cooperation between british universities and Finnish universities between can arise from bilateral agreements. This model was, however, much narrower than the current multi-national research network.

– Finnish universities should look at in advance, what british universities would be potential partners, Marja Makarow advise.

the Cooperation is only idulla, even if brexit were already have to be prepared in many ways.

the drug development company Faronin founder and director of Markku feet sella has long experience in medical research networks. According to him, in cooperation with british researchers can crumble overnight. Already now partners are sought from outside the Uk.

Faronin developed by the drugs research has already moved away from the island states of the European side.

We can’t use uk approved in drug trials and studies, because the land is falling outside of the EU, Jalkanen said.

in the Future Faronin must carefully consider what research in the Uk can no longer be done.
