Funding for blue skies research is falling in favour of work aligned with the government’s strategic priorities

Professor Jurriaan Ton, a Dutch expert in plant science at Sheffield University, feels British. His son was born here, his family love Yorkshire, and after more than a decade of producing highly cited research in the UK he has invested “massively” in the resources needed to make his blue skies research a success. But if he finds himself frozen out of grants from the European Research Council after Brexit, he will hit a brick wall.

Blue skies research is scientific research in domains where 'real-world' applications are not immediately apparent. It has been defined as 'research without a clear goal' and 'curiosity-driven science'. In another headline: Scientist discover how to make the perfect cuppa. 🙄🙄

Scientists will move to other countries, post Brexit there won’t be any chemical industries left in this country because manufacturing outside the region we import 90% of our products into will become unfeasible. When practical chemical application goes then research will go too

Hilarious, I love how the woman in the picture isn't even British. Just takes the cake. 😂 Put the fear mongering away fools.

I agree with this article, I research at a small town UK university and it’s becoming very difficult to obtain funding. The loss of horizon 20:20 finding and its follow up is hurting UK research, especially at smaller institutions.

Only moronic ideas make it through Brexit

Sure. Assuming they can knap flint, and build everything out of wood and old rocks
