<p>The UK’s EU membership is inextricably linked to its current membership of the
EUI Convention. As a result of exiting the EU, the UK will no longer be an EU member
state and so, in a no deal scenario, the UK’s membership of the European University
Institute Convention (EUIC) will automatically cease on 29 March 2019. In a deal scenario,
the UK’s membership of this Convention will continue for the duration of the implementation
period.</p><p>The Government has repeatedly made clear that it values international
exchange and collaboration in education and training as part of its vision for a Global
Britain. The Political Declaration sets out that we will establish general principles,
terms and conditions for UK participation in EU programmes in areas of shared interest,
and wider dialogues to allow us to share best practice and act together in our mutual
interest. 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>
