Researchers in Norway should be cautious about collaborating with scholars in the UK because of the uncertainty caused by Brexit, according to the Scandinavian country’s research council.

A statement published on the council’s website on 28 January says: “The Research Council of Norway is recommending that Norwegian applicants give careful thought to this before taking part in an application coordinated by British institutions or companies.”
