German-based Qiagen and MSD (Merck in North America), unveil more than £1bn of investment in research hubs creating nearly 1,000 high-skilled jobs.
The UK currently secures 3.5% of global investment, the highest share in Europe if exchange rate effects are excluded.
They must have confidence in the UK post Brexit.

Yep, saw it reported on the BBC 6'o clock news earlier. Great news for the UK and further proof that the UK will remain a good place for foreign investors to put their money after Brexit. This is also part of the government's industrial strategy for increased research and development funding, on the back of the news recently that foreign students coming to the UK to study at UK universities increased this year. Despite Remain scaremongers saying the foreign student numbers would fall because of the Leave vote in June 2016, the student total of 70,945 was 2% up on 2016. Since the leave vote the number of foreign students coming from countries like USA and China soared. A universities spokeswoman said "It is a very positive message". |

You are only referring to one company there. The BBC reported investment and jobs coming from 2 different companies. Which part of this very basic concept are you failing to understand? |

No disinformation at all just your basic lack of understanding. While applications from the EU may have dropped the university applications from the rest of the world outside have increased (as I said in my post applications from China and USA have soared). The total number of students has increased 2% this year on last year's figure. |

It may come as a surprise to you but there is a big wide world out there beyond the borders of the EU. UK universities don't only allow applications from the UK and the EU, they permit applications from the rest of the world too. You only posted the student application figures from the UK and the EU. The student application numbers from the rest of the world outside of the EU have increased this year (particularly from USA and China) taking the overall total student application figures up 2% on last year's figure. |

With all due respect some of those numbers include students applying for only a single study abroad year and industrial placement years. In addition I actually think we should be aiming to reduce international student numbers. We are not bringing the best in, we are bringing anyone who is a middle class non-brit and treating them like cash cows.

Yes, it is good news and a demonstration that the armageddon many on here like to portray is mostly in their mind and has been talked down or ignored as much as possible by the usual suspects.
The investment could have been made in the eu and followed the EMA to Amsterdam. I'm sure some would have responded much more positively to that.. ..
Personally I'm pleased we have another piece of news confirming we will do just fine. |

Thanks for the comprehensive breakdown. Makes interesting reading.
I suspect tuition fees have a lot to do with the drop in numbers. Maybe students are thinking twice before committing themselves to a huge debt to fund a degree that is virtually worthless when they graduate.
I heard recently that applications in Scotland are down because there aren't enough university places to meet domestic demand as Scottish universities are giving places to foreign (including the rest of the UK) as these bring in more money. |

Doesn't stop some giving out huge pay rises to their vice-Chancellors.
Just look at Professor Bob Cryan, vice-Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield.
He is now the 15th best-paid vice-Chancellor in the country, despite the University of Huddersfield sitting in 72nd place in the national rankings.
Professor Bob Cryan has seen his salary increase by £146,261 since tuition fees were trebled in 2012, despite the university operating a 1 per cent annual pay rise--below inflation--for its staff..
Professor Cryan’s £364,564 salary is nearly 25 per cent higher than the average pay package for a university vice-Chancellor.

Agreed, I wouldn't mind if the vice chancellors were still involved heavily in research and were at the top of their field, but much of the time they've just grown lazy and bloated.
I remember finding out as an undergrad , that vice chancellor of the uni I was then studying at was treating 'link and partnership building trips' as holidays. At least based on what he was spending and where. I mean do you really need to eat out at 5 star restaurants and visit the theatre each night for a week to work out where two universities can assist one another in research? |

Its been announced tonight that Bath University Vice Chancellor Glynis Breakwell, is to step down from her £468K post next year.
Despite her pay package, coupled with a £31k interest free car loan, £30K a year housekeeper, and grace and favour house in Lansdown Crescent, she once still found time to claim £2 for a packet of biscuits! |

There is more...
Dame Glynis said she had "served the university to the best of my ability" and would now take a sabbatical before formally retiring in 2019.
She will stay on full pay through her sabbatical and a car loan worth about £31,000 will be written off.

International Aerospace company Meggitt Plc today announced a £130 million pound investment to build a new factory in Coventry in the West Midlands.

More good news for Coventry, the West midlands (and the uk) as a new research and development centre is set to open at a Coventry enterprise park into research and development of state of the art high tech batteries (mainly for the electric car industry). This is set to produce an additional 200 jobs in the short term on research and development into batteries, and the owners and investors of the project hope that will increase to many thousands of jobs in the near future as the new batteries are developed and manufactured on site. Local car manufacturer in nearby Birmingham, West Mids, Jaguar/Land Rover welcomed the news and said they hoped to use batteries developed and manufactured at the site for their electric cars of the future. |

"German-based Qiagen and MSD (Merck in North America), unveil more than £1bn of investment in research hubs creating nearly 1,000 high-skilled jobs.
The UK currently secures 3.5% of global investment, the highest share in Europe if exchange rate effects are excluded.
They must have confidence in the UK post Brexit.
Yes, it is good news and a demonstration that the armageddon many on here like to portray is mostly in their mind and has been talked down or ignored as much as possible by the usual suspects.
The investment could have been made in the eu and followed the EMA to Amsterdam. I'm sure some would have responded much more positively to that.. ..
Personally I'm pleased we have another piece of news confirming we will do just fine."
Ever heard of confirmation bias? You know, like when people cling to tiny bits of information that support their preconceived ideas, and ignore the floods of data that prove them wrong. Do you think that could be a factor in your thinking? |

International aerospace and defence engineering group Meggitt PLC today announces plans to build a multi-million pound facility in the West Midlands.
The major £130m project at a new site at Ansty Park in Coventry, developed in conjunction with partners, would bring together a number of Meggitt's existing operations and represents a significant investment in the long-term future of Meggitt's UK manufacturing capability.
The facility, which would provide a base for up to 1,000 employees, strategically positions the business for future growth and will serve as a hub for the next-generation aerospace and R&D and as a catalyst for world-class operational performance.

Life Sciences company MSD, also known as Merck, are building a new London facility, due to be open in 2020.
150 Research jobs, as well as 800 other support staff jobs, will be created. Staff from their existing operation in Hertfordshire will also move.
Pharmaceutical companies are buying into the Oxford-London-Cambridge "golden triangle" in a big way. Further announcements in this sector are expected. |

We went though this a couple of days ago...this is from the FT
This article has been amended after MSD clarified that its investment will create 150 new jobs, not 950 as originally indicated |

So they are investing £1bn, needing 150 staff. That's £6.6mn per person.
That is quite a high £/person. Does that make sense to Older or CLCC???
How does the investment tally with your gleeful predictions of a pharma r&d exodus with EMA?
Ps These will involve you using your own judgment and experience, so dont worry if you dont know.

Why didn't they do this in Amsterdam, near the EMA?
Why did they select the UK? |

Yes, it was £20mil. That's £600k / person. A tenth of the amount per person of this story. So does it still make sense that the 150 is correct final figure?
The boeing investment in Sheffield, new McLaren car factory in Sheffield, and this pharma investment are all indications other people have more belief in this countries abilities and skill base than you do. |

Because they all could have invested elsewhere but didn't.
Don't either of you read these stories and think 'that's good, maybe things aren't actually as bad as I feared' ?

Merck is set to invest $1.3 billion to build a new U.K. headquarters and drug research center in the London area. Scheduled to open in about 2020, the facility will house 150 new researchers plus 800 staffers currently working in Hoddesdon, north of London.

In the threads about EMA leaving, the prediction was an exodus of pharma skills, investment and talent from the uk. This is the opposite.
Do you think it indicates that EMA leaving doesn't give all the adverse knock-ons that have been predicted in here? |

Thats rubbish...we or me have never said we dont like investment coming into the UK...we said as have others...that we will lose more because of brexit..

From MSD own website, news section, latest release:
The new UK Discovery Centre is anticipated to create 150 new research roles with the aim of attracting the brightest and best research scientists to work in London. It is also envisaged that the new site will accommodate approximately 800 additional staff for the UK domestic market and other European clinical functions currently based in MSD in the UK’s Hoddesdon headquarters. The company is currently evaluating several potential locations in the London region with a target date of 2020 for operational readiness. In the meantime, MSD plans to establish a small temporary research facility in the area and is actively recruiting for suitably qualified scientific talent.
.
That's 150 staff, plus 800 uk contract staff.
The separate company Qiagen is building an R+D facility in Manchester. That is an additional 800 staff.

UNDER STRICT EMBARGO: 00:01 HOURS, 27 MONDAY 2017
MSD announces plan to establish UK Discovery Centre in London
MSD, known as Merck and Co., Inc., in the US and Canada, has today announced its
commitment to establish a state of the art life sciences discovery research facility in London,
focussed on early bioscience discovery and entrepreneurial innovation.
The new UK Discovery Centre is anticipated to create 150 new research roles with the aim of
attracting the brightest and best research scientists to work in London. It is also envisaged
that the new site will accommodate approximately 800 additional staff for the UK domestic
market and other European clinical functions currently based in MSD in the UK’s Hoddesdon
headquarters. The company is currently evaluating several potential locations in the London
region with a target date of 2020 for operational readiness. In the meantime, MSD plans to
establish a small temporary research facility in the area and is actively recruiting for suitably
qualified scientific talent.
The proposed investment is in line with MSD Research Laboratories’ continued pursuit of new
innovative scientific discovery and collaboration and follows similar investments in new
biomedical centres in the San Francisco Bay Area and Cambridge Massachusetts. MSD
believes that locating a research facility in London will expand MSD’s opportunity to engage
with leading researchers in the UK and Europe.
“Strong discovery capabilities and the pursuit of scientific excellence are foundational to MSD’s
mission to save and improve lives around the world,” said Dr. Roger M. Perlmutter, president,
MSD Research Laboratories. “This new London location will enable us to build on our proud
legacy of invention and be an important contributor to the vibrant and rapidly growing London
life sciences community while providing access for more collaborations within the European life
science ecosystem.”
“We believe London to be a unique bioscience centre of excellence and a key component of
the established golden triangle for academic science of London-Oxford-Cambridge,” said
Louise Houson, managing director, MSD in the UK and Ireland. “This investment presents a
major opportunity for us to work in collaboration with the UK Government to build on the
forward thinking and ambitious Industrial Strategy White Paper published by the Government
today.”
It is intended that the UK Discovery Centre will become the location for MSD’s UK HQ, making
the central London site a unique location within the UK pharmaceutical sector.

I have. 150 staff, plus 'accomodation' (that means workspace, not beds) for 800 contract staff. That's why they are only 'employing' 150.
ON top of that 150 / 950 there is a FURTHER 800 in manchester coming from Qiagen.

Read, your own post! The 800 are relocating contract staff!!!!
150 new jobs. 800 secured contract staff in the new premises. That's MSD.
.
Separately in Manchester (a different city), a different company (Qiagen) are also employing 800 new people in a new R+D facility.

From the Manchester evening News
Again the KEY WORD is COULD... not IS ...you can and others can spin it in any way you want to...but nothing is agreed
An international pharmaceutical company could expand in Manchester, creating hundreds of jobs.
German-headquartered Qiagen, which already has staff based in the city, is looking to expand into a campus to work on genomics and diagnostics.
Together with a number of other science-based companies the campus is expected to create around 800 skilled jobs and is being developed in partnership with Health Innovation Manchester.
Director of PR for Qiagen Dr Thomas Theuringer said: "We are considering investing in Manchester because we have a very good experience of the skill set available and the people there.
"With an office already in Manchester the city is contributing very much to the success of our business and the growth of personalised healthcare is going to be the future.
"We are developing ways to see whether people are eligible for certain courses of drugs and personalised healthcare and that is why the government wants to invest.
"We are an absolute leader in this field and we have a great knowledge of the sector."
Qiagen already has around 270 staff based close to Manchester University at Skelton House.
It is not yet known where the new campus will be based as negotiations with the government are currently ongoing.
The deal is not expected to complete until after the first quarter of 2018.
If agreed, it will involve a partnership between the University of Manchester, the NHS Trust and the UK government.
The company also clarified that its financial commitment would be lower than the hundreds of millions of pounds reported elsewhere, but that they can see why investment is coming to Manchester and the north.
Dr Theuringer added: "The government and other companies see the north as an engaging and important site in life sciences.
"We are very hopeful that the deal will be signed in early 2018."

So, you've dropped it being the same set of jobs at least.
So, it's 150 staff plus 800 contract by MSD. Plus 800 by Qiagen, planned to be signed off in early 2018.
The big picture, and point I'm trying to show is that these companies ARE making the investments here, when they could equally have done them in the EU instead. |

Nope its not...your still not getting it...lets see how hard the government shakes that tree to determine how many jobs....its a 150 and COULD be more at another place...the word is COULD be ...but they just about replace what we lost with the EMA leaving so balances it out ...IF the other deal goes well and the government stumps up more money |

Well you constantly get your spelling wrong on the forum. It doesn't say much for your education level. There is a difference between Your and You're, There, They're and their but you don't seem to understand the difference between these. It's a matter of very basic English. Schoolboy stuff that you can't seem to understand. |

Not in this instance you havn't.
We have established the 950 is correct. And in fact it's 1750 if you include the retained contractors.
After that was done, you dropped back to 'well it just replaces the ema jobs' 'money tree' type stuff, followed by the name calling.
People have more respect for people who can acknowledge there are two sides to a discussion, and even sometimes be wrong. |

UNDER STRICT EMBARGO: 00:01 HOURS, 27 MONDAY 2017
MSD announces plan to establish UK Discovery Centre in London
MSD, known as Merck and Co., Inc., in the US and Canada, has today announced its
commitment to establish a state of the art life sciences discovery research facility in London,
focussed on early bioscience discovery and entrepreneurial innovation.
The new UK Discovery Centre is anticipated to create 150 new research roles with the aim of
attracting the brightest and best research scientists to work in London. It is also envisaged
that the new site will accommodate approximately 800 additional staff for the UK domestic
market and other European clinical functions currently based in MSD in the UK’s Hoddesdon
headquarters. The company is currently evaluating several potential locations in the London
region with a target date of 2020 for operational readiness. In the meantime, MSD plans to
establish a small temporary research facility in the area and is actively recruiting for suitably
qualified scientific talent.
The proposed investment is in line with MSD Research Laboratories’ continued pursuit of new
innovative scientific discovery and collaboration and follows similar investments in new
biomedical centres in the San Francisco Bay Area and Cambridge Massachusetts. MSD
believes that locating a research facility in London will expand MSD’s opportunity to engage
with leading researchers in the UK and Europe.
“Strong discovery capabilities and the pursuit of scientific excellence are foundational to MSD’s
mission to save and improve lives around the world,” said Dr. Roger M. Perlmutter, president,
MSD Research Laboratories. “This new London location will enable us to build on our proud
legacy of invention and be an important contributor to the vibrant and rapidly growing London
life sciences community while providing access for more collaborations within the European life
science ecosystem.”
“We believe London to be a unique bioscience centre of excellence and a key component of
the established golden triangle for academic science of London-Oxford-Cambridge,” said
Louise Houson, managing director, MSD in the UK and Ireland. “This investment presents a
major opportunity for us to work in collaboration with the UK Government to build on the
forward thinking and ambitious Industrial Strategy White Paper published by the Government
today.”
It is intended that the UK Discovery Centre will become the location for MSD’s UK HQ, making
the central London site a unique location within the UK pharmaceutical sector.

forward thinking and ambitious Industrial Strategy White Paper published by the Government
today.”
It is intended that the UK Discovery Centre will become the location for MSD’s UK HQ, making
the central London site a unique location within the UK pharmaceutical sector.

The KEY WORD IS ACCOMADATE
"
From the Manchester evening News
Again the KEY WORD is COULD... not IS ...you can and others can spin it in any way you want to...but nothing is agreed
An international pharmaceutical company could expand in Manchester, creating hundreds of jobs.
German-headquartered Qiagen, which already has staff based in the city, is looking to expand into a campus to work on genomics and diagnostics.
Together with a number of other science-based companies the campus is expected to create around 800 skilled jobs and is being developed in partnership with Health Innovation Manchester.
Director of PR for Qiagen Dr Thomas Theuringer said: "We are considering investing in Manchester because we have a very good experience of the skill set available and the people there.
"With an office already in Manchester the city is contributing very much to the success of our business and the growth of personalised healthcare is going to be the future.
"We are developing ways to see whether people are eligible for certain courses of drugs and personalised healthcare and that is why the government wants to invest.
"We are an absolute leader in this field and we have a great knowledge of the sector."
Qiagen already has around 270 staff based close to Manchester University at Skelton House.
It is not yet known where the new campus will be based as negotiations with the government are currently ongoing.
The deal is not expected to complete until after the first quarter of 2018.
If agreed, it will involve a partnership between the University of Manchester, the NHS Trust and the UK government.
The company also clarified that its financial commitment would be lower than the hundreds of millions of pounds reported elsewhere, but that they can see why investment is coming to Manchester and the north.
Dr Theuringer added: "The government and other companies see the north as an engaging and important site in life sciences.
"We are very hopeful that the deal will be signed in early 2018."

I view it how it is written in the sentence that includes your capitalised word.
"It is also envisaged that the new site will accommodate approximately 800 additional staff for the UK domestic market and other European clinical functions currently based in MSD in the UK’s Hoddesdon headquarters."
The contract staff who are currently at Hoddesdon will be accommodated instead at the new facility.
i.e 150 NEW staff. 800 retained contract staff.
Then 800 new staff from the other company in Manchester. |

Err I copied the MSD website statement in. I even read and explained the bit about accommodate for you.
MSD is 150 new jobs. 800 retained uk contract jobs from Hoddesdon.
Qiagen 800 jobs IF the deal gets signed in early 2018.
That's it. No spin. |

I get my facts right....no matter how i spell them
Not in this instance you havn't.
We have established the 950 is correct. And in fact it's 1750 if you include the retained contractors.
After that was done, you dropped back to 'well it just replaces the ema jobs' 'money tree' type stuff, followed by the name calling.
People have more respect for people who can acknowledge there are two sides to a discussion, and even sometimes be wrong."
Correct. Plus on top of the 1750 jobs you've clearly outlined there will be another 200 new jobs at the high tech research and development car battery facility in Coventry and another 1000 plus new jobs at the new £130 million Meggitt Aerospace facility also in Coventry.
1750 + 1200 = 2950 new jobs the UK can look forward to in the near future. |

Look this is from the FT...they spoke to the company MSF and issued this retraction
This article has been amended after MSD clarified that its investment will create 150 new jobs, not 950 as originally indicated
Understand ?
The other one there are NO jobs as no deal has been signed as of yet...i sincerely hope there will be one but as of yet no jobs created

U.S. drugmaker Merck & Co. and German diagnostics firm Qiagen are separately planning major investments in the U.K.
This again says it is 150 + 800 respectfully.
That equals up to 950 jobs.
The key word is 'separately'. |

Merck is set to invest $1.3 billion to build a new U.K. headquarters and drug research center in the London area. Scheduled to open in about 2020, the facility will house 150 new researchers plus 800 staffers currently working in Hoddesdon, north of London.

This is getting tedious, but I'll
include the link again
and the bit where it says quite clearly what the two companies are planning to do.
https://sen.acs.org/articles/95/i48/Merck-Qiagen-expand-UK.html
Merck is set to invest $1.3 billion to build a new U.K. headquarters and drug research center in the London area. Scheduled to open in about 2020, the facility will house 150 new researchers plus 800 staffers currently working in Hoddesdon, north of London.
Qiagen and other as-yet-undisclosed firms plan to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to establish a genomics research campus in Manchester, intended to create up to 800 new jobs.
Does that answer your question?

Your right it is getting tedious...and my answer stays the the same...150 new jobs...800 current jobs relocated to hoodesdon.
And no new jobs as yet at Manchester ...reason is the deal hasnt been agreed...how simple is that....or are you saying because there intended jobs in someones mind they class as real jobs
i quote from MEN ...read it carefully the exact wording
Together with a number of other science-based companies the campus is expected to create around 800 skilled jobs and is being developed in partnership with Health Innovation Manchester. |
