Contributor(s): Professor Simon Hix, Professor Wendy Thomson, Dr Beth Thompson | Universities increasingly compete in globalised markets. The EU has encouraged student mobility through programmes like Erasmus. Graduate students, in particular, seek education across Europe. Researchers collaborate in increasingly dense cross-national networks. What impact might Brexit have on students and research? What might universities themselves do to mitigate the impact of any new barriers? How can the UK best compete internationally? Our panel will consider where we are and where we might be heading.

Beth Thompson (@Beth_Thompson) is Head of Policy and Advocacy - UK & EU at the Wellcome Trust. Wendy Thomson (@Wendy_Thomson_) is Vice-Chancellor of the University of London.
