Scientists are told they can no longer lead EU research

UK scientists are being stripped of leadership roles for Europewide projects, in fresh evidence of how Brexit clashes are damaging vital research cooperation. The EU has told a Cambridge University astrophysicist studying the Milky Way that he cannot be in charge of a new project - because the UK is not part of the £80bn Horizon Europe programme.

Boris Johnson's Brexit deal was meant to rescue participation to pool talent and ideas to achieve scientific breakthroughs - but his plans to tear up the Northern Ireland protocol continue to block that. It is "collateral damage" from what Brussels sees as a breach of an international agreement, the EU ambassador to the UK has warned.
