英國脫歐公投投票馬上就要開始了，投票結(jié)果也將于本周公布。這一結(jié)果不僅對英國本國的經(jīng)濟有影響，將會對全球經(jīng)濟和金融市場造成極大的震蕩。當(dāng)然，對于研究經(jīng)費來自于歐盟的英國大學(xué)來說，也深深地關(guān)于其未來的命運。因此，包括牛劍帝國校長在內(nèi)的英國103位大學(xué)校長于昨天發(fā)布了一封致選民的公開信，表達了堅決地不愿意脫歐的立場。
致英國選民，
作為103所大學(xué)的校長，我們密切關(guān)注英國退出歐盟之后對于我們的大學(xué)和學(xué)生的影響。
我們的大學(xué)對于當(dāng)?shù)氐纳鐓^(qū)和經(jīng)濟的影響不應(yīng)該被低估。每年，大學(xué)為英國經(jīng)濟貢獻了730億英鎊，其中37億英鎊是來自于歐盟國家的學(xué)生，同時還創(chuàng)造了380,000個就業(yè)崗位。這些強勢的大學(xué)造福這英國人民——提供了就業(yè)機會，前沿科技方面的突破改善了人民的生活。
作為歐盟的一員，這些積極的影響進一步被放大。在歐盟內(nèi)，我們可以更容易地在開拓性的領(lǐng)域產(chǎn)生協(xié)作，不管是從癌癥治療到環(huán)境問題。歐盟成員的身份幫助英國大學(xué)吸引全歐洲最頂尖的人才，提高了大學(xué)的研究和教學(xué)實力，因此也能提供更多經(jīng)濟增長。
自愿脫離世界上最大的經(jīng)濟聯(lián)盟將會降低我們在科技創(chuàng)新方面的全球頂尖地位，讓用于校園的資金收緊，限制英國人民的機會。
我們堅信，脫離歐洲將會使我們面臨一個艱難的環(huán)境——需要長期投資支持高等教育和科研，以繼續(xù)維持英國這一高技能型和具有全球競爭力的知識經(jīng)濟體系。
對我們而言，我們這些杰出的學(xué)校以及學(xué)生會因為留在歐盟而變得更強大!

為什么大學(xué)不愿意脫歐?因為歐盟的研究經(jīng)費及合作
大學(xué)作為社會的前沿科學(xué)的研究基地，需要大量的經(jīng)濟和人力投入才能運轉(zhuǎn)。尤其，目前英國的高等教育體系接受到了國家投資越來越少，就越發(fā)其他組織機構(gòu)的投資。
以下就是接受最多歐盟研究經(jīng)費投資的十大大學(xué)列表：
另外，很多專業(yè)研究都有跨文化研究及寫作的需要，因此脫離歐盟也要導(dǎo)致這些合作項目的受阻，不利于英國大學(xué)的多元化發(fā)展。
以下為英國大學(xué)與歐盟合作最緊密的專業(yè)排名前十：
英國脫歐形勢持續(xù)變化中，不過最近議員Jo Cox的謀殺案使得形勢又來了一次急轉(zhuǎn)。根據(jù)最新的民調(diào)，留歐意向終于反超脫歐了。至于結(jié)局如何，只需再等兩天靜觀其變咯!
