Under this, researchers, scientists and academicians from outside the European Union can come to Britain for two years. The Minister said, "UK leads the whole world in research and innovation, and these changes will make it easier for international researchers to work in the UK."
This scheme will be implemented by UK Research and Innovation. UK immigration minister Caroline Nokes said in a statement "The UK is a world leader in research and innovation and these changes will make it easier for international researchers to work and train in the UK."

I recognise the crucial contribution science makes to the UK economy and society and I am determined that the UK will continue to welcome leading scientific and research talent from around the world," she said.
