You have very high visa costs, a lot of bureaucracy... difficulty getting people over here.
And I think even when we have come to a good end point... those years of uncertainty for the sector and for industry... I don't think you can underplay the psychological consequence of that... because you have to remember that the research landscape...
thrives on certainty, long-term vision, trust between different countries, between different sectors and interdisciplinary collaborations.
And we just stopped being seen as a reliable partner in many ways.
Sarah?
Since Brexit, we've seen a big shift in who we collaborate with and our role in those collaborations.
So it was spoken about as Brexit would allow us to become global Britain and that we would be able to collaborate more with, say, Australia and North America and New Zealand.
Instead, we've seen a reduction in collaboration with those countries.
We've seen an increase in collaboration with researchers from places like North Africa and
Asia and particularly China.
And that's partly Brexit making it harder to collaborate with EU colleagues and people perhaps not looking on it as such a stable partner when making co-funding bids.
But also, whilst the UK has been in this kind of liminal space of are we part of this and are we part of that and what deal can we broker, other countries have raced ahead.
So China, just as one example, has put a
huge sums of investment into R&D and industry.
And so we're more likely now to collaborate, for example, with Chinese researchers, but we are now less likely to be first author, less likely to be holding the funding.
And it's just a different kind of relationship that we hold in those collaborations.
So we had far less EU students who were coming to study in the UK because they lost what we call their home status.
Basically meant that before Brexit, they paid the same amount to go to a UK university as a student who's born here pays, which is heavily subsidised from the actual cost.
So we saw a huge decrease in students from across Europe coming to the UK.
So that's one impact.
