Summary:

Brexit resulted in various headaches for UK scientists, entrepreneurs and those developing new technologies. The most visible was the loss of the EU’s science funding programme Horizon, but investment and labour supply problems might be even more important. Science and technology was at the heart of the UK's review of security, defence, development and foreign policy. The government recognised that maintaining UK leadership in science would give it economic, political and security advantages in the coming decade. Yet it was unlikely that the government could fulfil this ambition without substantial changes. Instead, it risked watching its rivals gain advantages and shape international norms. Although it would be impossible to resolve all the problems without rejoining the single market, this paper outlines a strategy that would provide something of a salve.
