歐洲物理學會主席克里斯托弗·羅素的公開信（本人的中文翻譯[方括號是本人注釋]，原文附后）：
歐洲物理學會（EPS）對英國人民和他們決定離開歐盟的決定這一結果表示遺憾[確實]。除去所有因這一選擇帶來的后果，這個民意的選擇必須被尊重——如同其他一切民主程序一樣[好吧，一句官話]。英國公投的結果必將使領導人們開始一場對歐盟未來更寬廣的討論[又一句官話，不過用這一句話題引入到科學問題上]。即使歐盟可能失去一個強勁并且值得尊敬的研究伙伴，科學共同體必須保持團結，并且旨在進一步深化國際合作，特別是面對那些亟待解決的全球性挑戰(zhàn)的問題上[科學共同體代表人擲地有聲的表態(tài)！]。事實上，科研的優(yōu)勢之一是它的國際性和跨國界人員和思想的自由交流，這也是EPS強烈支持的政策和理念[自由也是科學家這個職業(yè)最吸引人的地方]。曾幾何時，歐盟委員一度要制定和實施開放的科學政策，特別是通過更好地相互連接的研究基礎設施，以提高科研質(zhì)量和歐洲科學的影響，最不幸的是可能看到這些努力由于政治決策而付諸東流[歷史上這樣的例子還不少么]。
英國退出歐盟確實將對它的大學和研究人員產(chǎn)生消極的后果[這將變成事實]。正如瑞士目前作為歐盟部分附屬國的狀態(tài)，在“地平線2020”（H2020）[歐盟到2020年科學研究和教育規(guī)劃藍圖]項目中所必須的談判和達成的雙邊協(xié)議，英國科學家要活的歐盟資助將變得更加困難。盡管昨天的投票結果，EPS將進一步發(fā)展和加強與物理研究所（IOP）[英國物理學會]的良好關系，這需要所有其他所有國家的成員協(xié)會的幫助。EPS的使命是倡導物理學研究及促進在歐洲的經(jīng)濟，科技，社會和文化進步的貢獻。EPS也代表了歐洲物理學界對于科學政策問題提供獨立的影響。正是出于這種角色，EPS呼吁英國和歐盟政府用一種相互尊重并且平穩(wěn)的方式，保持英國科學家們在歐盟科學藍圖上良好的融合。

Mulhouse, 24 June 2016 - The European Physical Society (EPS) regrets the outcome of the vote by the British people and their decision to leave the European Union. In spite of all possible consequences that might arise from this choice, the popular decision must be respected like in all democratic processes. The result of the UK's referendum will certainly bring the leaders to start a wider discussion on the future of the union. Even if Europe might loose a strong and respected research partner, the scientific community must remain united and aim in fostering further the international collaboration, especially when urgent solutions to global challenges are required. Indeed, one of the strengths of scientific research is its international nature and the free exchange of people and ideas across borders, a policy and philosophy strongly supported by EPS. At a time when the EU Commission wants to develop and implement open science policy to improve the quality and impact of European science, in particular by better interconnecting research infrastructures, it would be unfortunate to see such efforts refrained by political decisions.
The withdrawal of the UK from the EU will indeed have negative consequences for its universities and researchers. Like Switzerland is experiencing it with its status of partial associated country in Horizon 2020 and all the required negotiations to reach bilateral agreements, access to EU funding will become more difficult for UK scientists. In spite of yesterday's vote, EPS will further develop and strengthen its excellent relationship with the Institute of Physics (IOP), and this with the help of all its other national member societies. It is the mission of EPS to advocate for physics research and its contribution to the economic, technological, social and cultural advancement in Europe. Its role is also to represent the European physics community in providing independent input into science policy issues. In this function EPS calls on the UK Government and the EU governing bodies to act with all respectful means to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the good integration of the UK scientists within the European landscape.
