What is CONNECTS-UK?
CONNECTS-UK is a collaborative platform created in 2022 by the scientific diasporas of Finland, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, The Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain in the UK, together with Native Scientists.
Since Brexit, scientists in the EU and the UK have been facing significant challenges due to uncertainty in funding, mobility pathways and future common priorities. The chief objective of CONNECTS-UK is to strengthen the EU-UK relations by reinforcing the communities of EU researchers in the UK.
With financial support from the European Commission, CONNECTS-UK aims to establish itself as a modern hub for science diplomacy. We are building on strong traditions of our member associations, who have been supporting EU-UK scientific relations for over 15 years and have forged connections with major organisations, such as the Embassies of EU Member States in the UK and EU research institutions.
CONNECTS-UK focuses on addressing four goals:
- Establishing a professional network of EU researchers in the UK.
- Furthering research on the community of EU researchers in the UK and on EU-UK scientific collaboration and mobility.
- Providing policy advice and advocacy to EU and UK stakeholders.
- Developing science outreach programmes for the general public in the UK, especially children, led by EU researchers.
