A no-deal EU would negatively impact research into cancer treatments and climate change technology, more than 150 education bodies including Universities UK and the Russell Group have warned the UK government. A letter from the group urged the government to take the necessary steps to protect UK universities, which contribute more than £21bn ($26.8bn) to the UK economy each year. Professor Janet Beer from Universities UK said "world-leading academics and researchers" could leave the UK for countries with Brexit funding programmes.
