Europe woos scientists, capitalizing on US research cuts

nytimes.com — May 5, 2025 at 12:01 PM UTC

European leaders are seeking to attract scientists as the Trump administration cuts research funding and threatens universities. France and the European Union are investing in research programs, with the EU announcing a $566 million investment to draw top researchers globally. This comes amid U.S. actions perceived as detrimental to scientific progress. The initiative, "Choose Europe for Science," aims to capitalize on what European leaders see as a U.S. "error" in its approach to research and diversity.
