On @BBCr4today, interviewer cites our finding that no-deal Brexit would cut access to EU science programme by nearly 50%. But Prof Sir Mark Walport does UK science community a disservice by avoiding acknowledgement of the seriousness of the damage & sentiment of the community.

Full participation in the EU’s extraordinarily successful multinational research framework- - is far more valuable than anything Johnson could offer nationally. teapawt.org/EUClimateAction/status…

Worrying times for UK participants in COST Actions. They are fantastic research networks and it would be worrying if UK researchers were effectively excluded because of the Brexit shambles.
COST is major route for international research cooperation involving >2,500 UK researchers per year cost.eu/who-we-are/members/U… Millions of pounds of EU COST Actions have already been withdrawn from the UK. A no Deal Brexit will deny participation of UK Chairs and UK members.

We have 3 UK ECIs attending a training event in Porto in September as part of @ActionCost. I really hope it isn't their last opportunity.
Just one of the incredible opportunity for the development of UK early career investigators offered by COST and that will not be possible in the event of a no deal on October 31st. #StopBrexit @Scientists4EU @UkCost @COSTprogramme

No-deal Brexit 'threatens' UK science industry. bbc.co.uk/news/business-4913… This could mean the end of UK participation in COST after 45 years. Based on no Deal preparations, why is there nothing in place for COST?bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-4… @COSTprogramme @_ukro @UniversitiesUK

This - just so it's clear. Also, @COSTprogramme funding in case of a #NoDealBrexit is not covered at all by the UK's #H2020 'guarantee'! If the UK crashes out of the EU on Halloween, UK participants in hundreds+ COST Actions will become ineligible for participation @_ukro @UkCost
Robert-Jan Smits, the European Union’s former top R&D official, has warned that there is no chance of the UK becoming an associate member of the bloc’s next R&D programme if it leaves the union without a deal. rsrch.co/2YdSR6g

Lady Manningham-Buller, chairwoman of Wellcome Trust:"We are at a tipping point. If we make the UK unfriendly to scientists overseas, the damage that has already been done in the last three years by the uncertainty of Brexit will be compounded."
