Reposting, since the post was removed because the title did not reflect the link.
Previous title and general intention of discussion:
“Anyone else feel like this is a slap in the face? We already have an excess of talent and STEM careers are notoriously underpaid. Now, rather than invest more in European scientists, they want to recruit Americans, likely with higher wages.”
I just don’t understand how they will get past the language barrier? Aside from the UK which speaks English, Americans do not speak any other European Language. I feel like Canada should be doing this instead of the EU. They have both a common language and geographical proximity.
When Project 2025 will be implemented in Europe, scientists will have nowhere else to go. Solve the problem of disinformation and social media first.
Trump will be pleased
The US used to be a place for people from all over the world went for opportunities. The American Dream is dead and leadership promoting that dream has been replaced by science deniers, ultra nationalists and conspiracy theorists who are fast-tracking its decline.
As I said in the [previous post before its deletion](https://old.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1klhzia/anyone_else_feel_like_this_is_a_slap_in_the_face/), the commission is trying to solve a non-existent problem. We don’t have an issue with the number of researchers but with the number of positions offered to them : we already have more PhDs than there are places available in universities and research institutes. It is increasingly difficult to get a permanent position despite multiplying post-doctoral contracts, leading researchers to choose between precarity and emigration. Trying to attract American scientists at the expense of our own will only make this issue worse.
The commission appears to think that American universities are better because Americans are inherently better than Europeans. But that’s obviously not the case: the US has simply invested more in research.
Increase spending, scientists wages, and we will retain/attract top-tier scientists just like as the Americans were.
great, now you do that?
i would have quadruples science and education funding 20 years ago if i had any say

Can we get funding for EU scientists first?
I’m unable to get a job because of budget cuts here 😕
I’m sure so many US professors will be happy to earn $100,000 less per year and work with broken and outdated equipment. Outside of Netherlands and Germany, research in the EU is a joke compared to the US.
How about giving European academics good secure jobs also? I’m Irish and I’ll have to apply for social welfare again this summer and hope I get a new contract to start work as again in September
Operation paperclip 📎 in reverse?
Great idea., don’t stop at scientist attract all talents
Could we fund our military first? We have an existential danger at our Eastern border.
What an incredible swing. This will allow for over 10 scientists to come to Europe. America is going to feel this
