The UK is urged to ramp up efforts to draw top scientific talent away from the US, as various EU nations introduce proactive schemes. Chinyelu Onwurah, chair of the UK Parliamentary Science Committee, highlighted the EU's â¬500 million initiative to attract foreign researchers and called on the UK government for better support and funding. While Britain has plans to target specific researcher classes with £50 million in funding, there is a pressing need for more competitive relocation packages, relaxed visa demands, and expressions of support from UK institutions for scientists exiting the US.
The EU recently launched a â¬500 million ($566 million) plan to pull in scientists from abroad, with France pledging another â¬100 million ($113 million) to help.
Some universities in Europe have already begun to actively recruit researchers from the US, and countries such as Netherlands and Australia have set up funds to recruit top foreign scientists.
