At the same time, international interest in working in the United States has declined significantly. During the first quarter of the year, scientists from Canada, China and Europe request from US research centers Fell 13 %, 39 %, and up to 41 % respectively.
Against this background, European institutions have intensified their efforts to attract US capabilities. In France, Aix-Mareresille University recently launched A safe place for scienceA program that aims to host US researchers, censorship or Trump’s policies. The project is supported by about $ 15 million.
With the same letters, Max Planck Society has announced its formation in Germany Max Planck Translantic ProgramWhich aims to set up joint research centers with US institutions. Society Director Patrick Karmer, while discussing the program, said in a speech, “We will consider the Director’s positions to leave the residual investigators who have to leave the United States.”
Spain finds an important character
Spain’s Secretary for Innovation, and Universities, Joan Cruz Sagodosa, has emphasized that Spain is also active in attracting global scientific skills, and that quantum biotechnology, artificial intelligence, modern materials, and semiconductor are preferred by the country.
To achieve this goal, the Pedro Sanchez government has reinforced existing programs. The Etory Program – which aims to persuade researchers to bring their work to Spain – has been strengthened with $ 45 million to recruit scientists, which are leaders in strategic fields, which focus on US experts who feel. The program is providing additional financing of 000 200,000 euros to those selected from the United States.
Similarly, the Raman Wai Kajal program, which was extended to the career of young scientists 25 years ago, has increased its financing by 150 % since 2018, which can provide financial support to 500 researchers every year, 30 % of which are foreigners.
“We are going to accelerate efforts to attract skills from the United States. We want them to come for the best science free from ideological sanctions. Scientific and technical knowledge makes us a better country, as it creates a shared prosperity and future view,” a Spanish International News Agency for the Science Program. “
