On this basis, we will explore with the European University Institute options for future participation in its activities and we will work to ensure that UK students at the EUI will be able to complete their studies. Furthermore, UK universities will be able to continue to collaborate with the EUI in research projects even if the UK is no longer a member of the EUI Convention.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 25/02/2019 16:03:49 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
