MPs say UK research frozen because of Brexit delay
UK scientists are likely to be “frozen out” of EU research programmes, a committee of MPs warns. …
The EU’s Earth mapping effort, Copernicus, is similarly affected by the delay. This affects UK aerospace companies wanting to bid for contracts to manufacture equipment for Copernicus because the contracts are dished out as a proportion of the contribution from member states. Because of the impasse, British firms can’t contribute and so, according to the Select Committee report, will be “frozen out”.
