As a historian, I know that Britain is at its greatest when we reach out to the world, when we break free of our island mentality, when we see ourselves yes, as a powerful, dynamic and proud nation, but also as an important part of a much greater whole.
And nowhere in our society is this clearer than in our universities and wider knowledge economy. After Brexit, we want not just a friendly relationship with our European neighbours and allies, but also to reach out and build better connections with the wider world.
