Brexit causes collapse in European research funding for Oxbridge

Oxford and Cambridge universities, once given more than 130m a year in total by European research programmes, are now getting 1m annually between them

One of the UK's most prestigious universities has seen its funding from a large European research programme plummet from 62m a year to nothing since Brexit, new figures show.

The latest statistics from the European Commission reveal that Cambridge University, which netted 483m (433m) over the seven years of the last European research funding programme, Horizon 2020, has not received any funding in the first two years of the new Horizon Europe programme.
