The conference "Choose Europe for Science" in Paris aims to attract US scientists disillusioned by political and financial pressures under Trump's administration. Financial incentives are proposed to encourage researchers to relocate to Europe, thereby defending EU interests. French President Macron has appealed for US researchers to choose France, initiating funding programs to ease their transition. Universities like Aix Marseille and research organizations like CNRS are actively facilitating the integration of these scientists, responding to a significant influx of applicants seeking refuge from the current US research climate.
US research programmes face closure, tens of thousands of federal workers have been fired and foreign students fear possible deportation for their political views.
The 27-nation EU hopes to offer an alternative for researchers and, by the same token, defend our strategic interests and promote a universalist vision.
