Brexit funding loss risks Welsh university jobs
Dr Sarah-Jane Potts and her partner have had to put their wedding on hold over research job uncertaintyAbout 1,000 university research jobs are at risk unless the UK government urgently replaces European Union funding, bosses have warned.
About 60 large-scale, multi-partner research projects in Wales rely on that funding, which is due to end this year.One of those at risk is the Specific project, based at Swansea University, which recently won a Queen's Anniversary Prize for Innovation. She and her partner both work for Specific and, with both their futures now uncertain, she said it is impacting their mental health and has forced them to put their plans to get married on hold.Prof David Worsley, who created the Specific project, said the impact of losing EU funding went beyond just jobs.
"Before the Ukraine war, 28% of people in Wales were in fuel poverty, it's more now. We should use the net-zero transition as an opportunity to eliminate fuel poverty. And our work is all about delivering that without using fossil fuels," he said.
