Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper looks into the likely effects of Brexit on scientific research in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. Although mention is made of the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, these will only become clear with time. After a reminder about what science actually is, I describe a framework for the debate on Brexit and research. I sketch an outline of the best possible outcome of this process and comment on the situation as it appeared in 2020, in the midst of the Transition Period and while intensive negotiations on the future relationship between the UK and the EU continued.
