Scientists: Emigration
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the number of scientists leaving the UK, and what steps they will take to attract scientists to the UK.
- Answer
-
While the government does not collect data on the exact number of scientists leaving the UK, the government is committed to ensuring the UK is the top destination for globally mobile research talent based anywhere in the world.
The UK boasts a world-leading science base, supported by top universities and research institutions, and has an ambitious funding offer through UKRI and the National Academies, which offer prestigious fellowships and professorships. On 19 May, the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering announced they will launch new Accelerated International Routes for their respective existing Faraday Discovery Fellowship and Green Future Fellowship schemes.
We keep our offer continually under review and will set out the details of any plans to enhance our offer in due course.
