According to the previous agreement reached by the British and the European Union, 150 British scientific research projects that have been funded by the European Research Commission and have been included in the EU "European Highway" scientific research funding plan. Britain continued to receive EU funding after Brexit. Now that the deadline has passed, only a dozen British scholars have successfully transferred the project from the United Kingdom, which means that other projects cannot continue to pay the European Union. The European Research Commission did not disclose the total amount of capital withdrawal from British scientific research projects, but it is estimated that the number may be more than 100 million pounds.

Felizer, a professor of economics at Winwei University in the United Kingdom, is one of the scholars who successfully transferred the project to the EU institution. He talked about the media: "The process of Brexit 'Brexit" made me lose confidence in British institutions ... I really worry that the United Kingdom will go along the dark road. " It's not so lucky. He was originally a coordinator in a research project with a total fund of 2.8 million euros. The research project is expected to play an important role in the next major projects of the European Space Agency. And now he can only give this job to Dutch scholars.

The British government was disappointed with the Lost EU's support for these British projects. At the same time, the "theoretically" of the British projects in accordance with the qualifications for applying for the EU funding.

The British and EU's "European High -High Line" scientific research funding cooperation has basically rely on blowing. The British threatened to completely withdraw from the project and start another stove to engage in Britain's own scientific research funding plan to compete with the "European Horizon". However, it is reported that there are differences between the British Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance on how to fund the operation of scientific research funding plans for Britain and how to build a structure.
