Trump ha tagliato il finanziamento dell’istruzione, il che significa che molte università statunitensi stanno affrontando i blocchi di assunzione e vincoli di bilancio. L’economista Monika Schnitzer parla a Marie Sina di DW delle opportunità per le università e gli istituti di ricerca tedeschi di tentare accademici e scienziati di attraversare lo stagno. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgk8Cyiajls

Well if history gives you any guidance, I would say yes: scientists, researchers, artists. Anyone who can afford to leave, will leave. Remember, we are just at the beginning of this journey into fascism (less than 100 days), they are just getting started. Citizens who are dissidents are next on the chopping block.
It’s the same problem in Germany. At least in the battery technology, as far as I know. Budget cut also happens here.
Germany can barely pay the already existing researchers enough. There are little to no open positions in universities and research institutes. How exactly is Germany supposed to attract these US researchers? It’s not that we lack the talent in Europe. It’s that we don’t value it.
Good luck with this. Especially when Merz recently says immigrants should learn German up to C1.
Theoretically? Yes, and it would be good.
Practically? No. Germany doesn’t have the money or the regulatory regime for it. US scientists at universities make excellent salaries even without their research budget. Not many will take the downgrade. And regulatorily, if Germany were able to be flexible with diplomas and certifications that decide who may hold what job, they would have already done so for the rest of Europe. Since other Europeans still struggle to meet he bureaucratic criteria to work here, I don’t anticipate us making it laxer for American scientists.
Can Germany offer [affordable housing | daycare | visa processing | English speaking immigration offices | less bureaucracy ] to US researchers?
No, it cannot.
Unfortunately, the answer is no.

Pushing a C1 citizenship hurdle certainly doesn’t help.
I don’t think so.
It seems like Germany (as well as other European countries) will cutting research funding until 2027. I think the EU announced a reduction of 130 million euros for the upcoming year. In addition to this a total cut of 2 billion in 26 and 27

But if they find the money,I will take it as insult. So you’re telling there was funding all this time but now to flex you’re releasing funds out of nowhere? Pfft
Maybe not, the language would be one of the biggest hurdles, and I dont feel like Germany wants more foreign researchers.
We, somehow, make it hard for productive people to come. If they are refugees, then they are welcome /s
Given the amount of PhDs in this country, there are probably many Germans who would gladly fill research positions if they were paid well and their was openings.
The government will need to spend some of those billions it’s opening up on expanding research.
Ja, aber C1 deutsch ist erfordert. Gehalt 50k brutto.
And from many comments you’ll understand why it won’t.
I’m a prof in the US and did a sabbatical in Germany recently. It was lovely becasue I was still making my US salary on sabbatical. I don’t want to live there on a German salary.
probably not, no
Can they?
They can in theory, but that means that the approach has to change significantly.
Current researchers are underfunded and overworked. Furthermore, currently, there is next to zero chance for people who are not part of the system to enter the system.
The researchers/professors are also not really communicative, when approached for a one-on-one expert meeting (f.e. in the context of election observation missions)
With Merz/CDU the austerity measures are targeting univercities already.
Germany can certainly attract US researchers. What it can’t really do is keep them around and researching.
