Universities UK international (UUKi) is currently receiving regular requests from UK and European media outlets for interviews with academics who have been directly affected by the uncertainty surrounding UK association to Horizon Europe. They believe this type of media engagement can help our cause by drawing attention to the urgency of the situation and the damage that is being done to efforts to tackle global challenges and create new knowledge. Therefore, UUKi are asking members to report if there are researchers who have been adversely affected by the delay in confirming association and would be willing to provide interviews or comments to these media outlets. This may either be because the projects have been abandoned, or because you’ve been forced to leave a consortium or accept a reduced role. If you have been affected by this and are willing to participate in one of UUKi’s media opportunities, please get in touch with GlobalBU@bournemouth.ac.uk
