The Global Talent Fund is intended to recruit leading international researchers. However, institutions in the North of England have been excluded from this funding opportunity. Dame Chinyelu Onwurah emphasized in her letter to Lord Vallance that the fund recognizes the contributions of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland but neglects large areas of England. No universities from the North West, North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, or East Midlands were selected, raising concerns over equal access to global talent. Information on the selection criteria for funded institutions has also been requested, with a deadline for response set.
In a letter to Lord Patrick Vallance, Dame Chinyelu Onwurah expressed disappointment that the Global Talent Fund overlooks institutions in Northern England, excluding them from significant funding.
The Global Talent Fund scheme designates £54 million to attract top researchers but fails to include universities in regions like North West and North East England.
