The EU spent €8.8 billion on UK-based research, development and innovation between 2007 and 2013 — mostly through its last Framework Programme, FP7. In January, the government listed science as one of its 12 priorities for Brexit negotiations, but it has said little about what this would mean in practice. UK institutions currently receive around €1 billion (US$1.2 billion) in funding every year from EU programmes, mainly from the huge Horizon 2020 funding programme, the latest of the EU’s researchfunding ‘Framework Programmes’ (see ‘British bonanza’). Freedom-of-movement rules have allowed academic staff — currently more than 30,000 — from other EU countries to move to UK universities and live and work without visas. The document — one of a series outlining the government’s position in negotiations with the EU — confirms that the United Kingdom would like to remain party to Horizon 2020 and any successor schemes. It would “welcome discussion” about continued UK participation in these, as well as in research-and-development programmes relating to space, nuclear energy and defence. But it warns that any payments that the United Kingdom would have to make to remain involved in such projects would be weighed “against other spending priorities”. It also says that, although EU citizens will lose the automatic right to come and work in the United Kingdom, the country “will continue to welcome the brightest and best”.

2007 年至 2013 年间，欧盟在英国的研究、开发和创新上花费了 88 亿欧元——主要是通过其最后一个框架计划 FP7。今年 1 月，政府将科学列为英国脱欧谈判的 12 个优先事项之一，但它几乎没有说明这在实践中意味着什么。英国机构目前每年从欧盟计划中获得约 10 亿欧元（12 亿美元）的资金，主要来自庞大的 Horizo​​n 2020 资助计划，这是欧盟最新的研究资助“框架计划”（参见“英国富矿”）。行动自由规则允许来自其他欧盟国家的学术人员——目前超过 30,000 人——搬到英国大学，无需签证即可生活和工作。该文件是概述政府在与欧盟谈判中的立场的系列文件之一，确认英国愿意继续加入 Horizo​​n 2020 和任何后续计划。它将“欢迎讨论”英国继续参与这些以及与空间、核能和国防相关的研发计划。但它警告说，英国为继续参与此类项目而必须支付的任何款项都将“与其他支出优先事项”进行权衡。它还说，尽管欧盟公民将自动失去来英国工作的权利，但该国“将继续欢迎最聪明和最优秀的人”。以及与空间、核能和国防有关的研发计划。但它警告说，英国为继续参与此类项目而必须支付的任何款项都将“与其他支出优先事项”进行权衡。它还说，尽管欧盟公民将自动失去来英国工作的权利，但该国“将继续欢迎最聪明和最优秀的人”。以及与空间、核能和国防有关的研发计划。但它警告说，英国为继续参与此类项目而必须支付的任何款项都将“与其他支出优先事项”进行权衡。它还说，尽管欧盟公民将自动失去来英国工作的权利，但该国“将继续欢迎最聪明和最优秀的人”。
