Aix-Marseille University in France has introduced the Safe Place For Science program to attract American researchers feeling threatened by the Trump administration. The initiative aims to provide an environment conducive to innovation and academic freedom, with funding up to €300,000 for individual researchers. The university hopes to raise €15 million to support around 15 researchers, potentially accommodating more based on funding availability. This response comes as many US scientists consider relocating due to disruptions in their research stemming from political changes since the new administration took office.
"Aix-Marseille University is launching the Safe Place For Science program, offering a 'safe and stimulating environment' for American researchers wishing to pursue their work free from persecution."
"The program targets researchers, whether or not they have teaching duties, offering an employment contract and a research budget for up to three years, promising up to €300,000 in funding."
