UCL Research and Brexit

UCL’s community is particularly rich and its expertise can be applied to a wide range of policy issues provoked by Brexit.

EU flags
There are around 250 UCL academics focused on Europe and the EU, including 30 EU and Constitutional Law specialists and 60 scholars with EU country-level expertise, all available through the Brexit Expert Directory.

UCL has been particularly successful in securing funding through the EU's research and innovation programme, Horizon 2020, and welcomes the government's announcement that the UK will associate to the successor programme, Horizon Europe. 

The breadth of UCL research on Brexit is captured in a single portal, the Brexit Hub, and features on the UCL Europe Blog.

The first deadlines are now confirmed as 8 April 2021 (Starting Grants) and 20 April 2021 (Consolidator Grants). The Work Programme sets out how the ERC will allocate its funding for the corresponding year. Find out more.
