They should first pay EU scientists
>*make Europe “a magnet for researchers.”*
MEAMFR!!
We need to work on the acronym a bit.
>*Unfortunately, as your discussions have shown today, the role of science in today’s world is questioned.*
It’s the scientific method
Because of Trump, Europe will brain drain America, and we will be left with a bunch of Trump dummies.
Meanwhile, can you give job to EU scientists and researchers, while give them good life conditions, labs and researcher centers?
Also, why give privileges to USA scientists over anyone from other parts of the world, isn’t it supposed to be based on merit?
Anyway I doubt that 500M€ will do much, maybe if they redirect some money of the 150.000M€ for weapons it would have effect.
I always read stuff like this and it always seems nice as an American scientist until you remember the gross mistreatment of scientists in general 😭 and I have so many fears that others would hate me. it’s so frustrating to live in a country that doesn’t invest at all in the science you want to be doing, but equally frustrating knowing you’ll be an imposter and likely hated wherever you go
Let’s call it a ‘Trump dump bump’ for Europe…
SUTAS, suck up the American scientists!
Not going to work whilst great idea, too many red tapes in the EU.
Sounds like a good plan. Science needs to keep moving forward.
Brutal truth: the EU lacks the money, infrastructure and desire to do this. I don’t think anyone in these comments has any concept of the scale of the US scientific enterprise pre-Jan 2025.
European academia is not a magnet for its own researchers. European universities have produced too many PhDs and Postdocs, and the number of permanent positions is very very very limited. For every position opened in Belgium or Germany, it’s not just Belgians and Germans applying. You’ll often have tons of applications from Italy, a country that has produced way too many graduates but doesn’t have enough qualified positions to absorb them all.
The reality is, for the average European PhD holder in science, it’s way more appealing to just work in the industry. Your career path is secure, you don’t suffer from burnouts, and you don’t need to apply from grant to grant for your postdoc, which, btw, the longer you do it, the less employable you become.
So if Europe wants to tell American scientists to dump Trump for a lab in Europe, it will need to invest massively to provide permanent positions for them with attractive salary. It also needs to improve its capability in translating knowledge into application, something that the Yanks do excel in. Otherwise it’s all just posturing, particularly when countries like the Netherlands are cutting funding to universities.
