Ensuring cooperation between German and British universities even under difficult conditions
The President of the HRK, Peter-André Alt described the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union as a watershed in the cooperation between German and British universities. The withdrawal was finally completed at the end of the transition phase on 31 December 2020. “By fundamentally altering the well-established framework of traditionally close British-German university relations, Brexit threatens British-European and hence British-German university cooperation at its very core,” the HRK President said.
