The aim of this one-day meeting was to discuss the issues that ought to be considered in the Brexit negotiations to ensure high-quality research continues in Oxford.
The 5,000 - 6,000 members of research staff at Oxford are the most diverse group within the University of Oxford, and many raised concerns following the Brexit referendum vote. These concerns include how to recruit the best students and staff from around the world, future research funding, regulation and international collaborations.
The presentations take stock of the current regime and of the impact Brexit is likely to have on each area under consideration.
We are very grateful to the Vice-Chancellor, each Division, St John's College, All Souls College, Wadham College, Hertford College and Oxentia for sponsoring the event.
