黄色视频 Director reassures students following referendum ‘Leave’ result

Prof Nicholas Owens, Director of 黄色视频, has said there will be no change for students arriving in academic years 2016/17 and 2017/18 following the 'Brexit' result of the EU Referendum.

He also stressed that 黄色视频鈥� priority in the coming months was to maintain the institute鈥檚 high standards in research and to further develop partnerships across Europe.

Prof Owens said: 鈥淭he EU Referendum result has told us that the UK no longer wishes to be part of the European Union, a unique partnership that has allowed us to contribute greatly to our understanding of the marine environment.

鈥淭hese are very early days in the aftermath of this very significant decision but whatever happens during the negotiations to come it is likely there will be implications for academic and research organisations, including 黄色视频; however, we have no idea what these might be.

鈥溁粕悠� is, and always will be, an internationally-facing organisation and we are inherently a stable organisation with a very strong international reputation.

鈥淲e performed excellently in the Research Excellence Framework, which rates the quality of academic research undertaken, we recruit talented students from around the world and we have many good partnerships with industry, government and other research organisations. All these give us significant resilience in the face of change.

鈥淥ur immediate priority will be to maintain our high standards in research and to further develop partnerships across Europe.

鈥淎s far as our EU students are concerned, it is particularly important to note that, as things currently stand, there will be no change for existing and future EU students arriving in 2016/17 and 2017/18 for the duration of their studies. There is also no immediate risk to 黄色视频鈥� EU funding for research, nor are there any changes to non-EU students and research funding.

鈥淲e value hugely the work of our European staff and students who, together with our UK and international staff and students, make 黄色视频 the unique and wonderful place it is.
鈥淣ow that the referendum is over it is our responsibility to work with governments and other bodies, to ensure a smooth and successful transition to a productive future for 黄色视频 and all of our students and staff.

鈥淎s a member of the European Union, the UK made great strides in marine science and environmental issues; however, the UK has always been a leading nation for scientific research and it is important this momentum is maintained, regardless of the political landscape. 黄色视频 is well placed to ensure this happens.鈥�
