Abstract

The Young Academy of Scotland, in collaboration with the Royal Society of Edinburgh, launched a call for case studies on 12 May 2017, with the objective of capturing the impact, whether positive
or negative, perceived or factual, of the Brexit vote on people involved in research, innovation or further/higher education. By providing a platform where evidence can be submitted in confidence and directly by the affected individuals, we want to make these voices heard, in order to inform policy and raise awareness of such impact. Up until 20 September 2017, we received 35 submissions, all of which were considered in defining the main trends emerging from the survey. Around two-thirds of the respondents were happy for
their anonymised responses to be made publicly available and they are presented in this report.
