European Research Collaboration

14 December 2017

Cross-border working has facilitated the sharing of knowledge, experience and expertise to support high-quality teaching and pioneering research to the benefit of students, scientists and all European citizens.

Research-intensive universities in the Russell Group, the League of European Research Universities (LERU) and the Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities encourage both the UK and the EU to be ambitious for a future which will allow universities on both sides of the Channel to continue to cooperate as closely as possible on research and innovation after Brexit.
