The area of chemistry performed slightly better than the overall average where \u2018internationally excellent\u2019 and \u2018world leading\u2019 research was 43% and 41% respectively. Tom Welton, president of the Royal society of Chemistry welcomed these results.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The bright results of the research, carried out by academics and research users, however, were overshadowed by a new UK graduate visa scheme that <a href=\"https:\/\/sciencebusiness.net\/news\/uk-visa-scheme-top-graduates-all-excludes-eu-universities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">does not bode well for academic cooperation between the UK and the European Union<\/a>. The controversial scheme allows \u2018high potential individuals\u2019 \u2013 graduates from top ranked global universities &#8211; to move to the UK even if they lack a job offer. However, it relies on metrics that \u201coffer no meaningful measures of teaching quality\u201d \u2013 according to Declaration on Research Assessment chair Stephen Curry. As a consequence of this, there is an overrepresentation of United States universities in the scheme, while there are only three European universities present &#8211; LMU Munich, Paris Sciences et Lettres University, and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. In addition to minimising research traffic between Europe and UK, the new visa scheme is said to exclude the global south as well.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Scientific cooperation between European countries and Great Britain is patchy since the latter\u2019s departure from the European Union. Amongst other issues such as the one above, one of the key challenges is dealing with the difficulties regarding the UK\u2019s ascension into Horizon Europe \u2013 \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.euchems.eu\/stick-to-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stick to Science\u2019<\/a>, an initiative that calls EU institutions to accelerate this process garnered traction in earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The findings of the Research Excellence Framework demonstrate that the United Kingdom\u2019s chemical research is outstandingly high quality \u2013 45% &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":15295,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[9,140,5],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 -
