  • The uncertainties caused by Brexit are set to dramatically influence the UK's ability to attract and retain top scientists and engineers. That's the conclusion from a survey of over 4000 people working in science and engineering, carried out by New Scientist and science recruitment firm SRG. The survey gathered data from around 4300 individuals working as scientists, engineers, academics, and in clinical trials. More than 2,500 were based in the UK and almost 900 in continental Europe. The remainder, based in the US, were not asked about Brexit. Almost two-thirds of managers who recruit scientists and engineers in the UK believe Brexit will affect their ability to attract top talent from within the European Union. Many also think the referendum result will make it more difficult to retain existing staff. That's despite the UK government's declaration in December that around 3 million EU citizens living in the UK will be able to apply for the right to stay indefinitely following Brexit.
