The CNRS has initiated the "Choose CNRS" program to attract US scientists affected by funding cuts resulting from the Trump administration's policies. CNRS President Antoine Petit emphasized the urgency of supporting researchers who prefer not to raise families in the current political climate of the US. While largely appealing to non-Americans so far, the initiative aligns with broader European efforts to capitalize on US uncertainties in research funding. Furthermore, President Macron has urged French institutions to become welcoming destinations for US-based scientists, fostering a more diverse scientific community in France.
CNRS President Antoine Petit highlighted that the "Choose CNRS" initiative aims to draw both foreign researchers and French scientists abroad affected by federal cuts in the US.
With massive cuts to federal research funding, US scientists are under pressure. France positions itself as a haven for those seeking stability in their research careers.
The CNRS initiative is part of a broader European response to the challenges posed by US federal funding cuts since Trump's administration, inviting global talent.
President Macron's call for French institutions to attract US scientists signals a strategic move to bolster France's scientific community amid global uncertainties.
