Since Trump's return to the White House, significant cuts to federal research funding have raised concerns among prominent researchers in the United States. Philippe Baptiste, France's minister for higher education, expressed a desire to attract these scientists to France, offering an academic environment that promotes innovation and academic freedom. Aix-Marseille University announced a program specifically aimed at welcoming US researchers working on climate change. In the face of these changes, protests have erupted across cities in the US for science, demonstrating international solidarity among researchers.
Many well-known researchers are already questioning their future in the United States, as the Trump administration cuts federal funding for health and climate research.
We would naturally wish to welcome a certain number of researchers who may feel threatened or hindered in the United States to continue their work here.
French academics denounced what they termed unprecedented attacks on US science, emphasizing that these actions undermine one of the pillars of democracy.
The government in France is committed to welcoming scientists who prioritize innovation and excellence in an academic environment.
