<p>The European University Institute Convention (EUIC) is an agreement between the
Member States of the European Union. After 29 March 2019, the United Kingdom will
cease to be a Member State of the European Union and, as such, the UK’s membership
of the EUIC will automatically cease. Should Parliament approve the deal the Prime
Minister has negotiated with the EU, the UK will continue to apply the terms of the
EUI Convention for the duration of the implementation period. The UK’s rights and
obligations under the Convention would continue during that period, in accordance
with the Withdrawal Agreement.</p><p><br>Officials in my department and in the Department
for Education have met with the EUI to explore 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> </p>
