In early May, European leaders convened in Paris, launching a €500 million funding initiative called Choose Europe to attract researchers affected by US policy changes. Ursula von der Leyen and Emmanuel Macron framed the initiative as a response to growing threats against open research, promoting a welcoming environment for international scholars. The French government also announced additional funds to subsidize research projects involving international scientists. This coordinated approach is aimed at enhancing Europe's appeal amidst shifting global research dynamics, particularly in light of competition from U.S. policies that may deter scientific collaboration.
"Europe is ready to welcome those who are seeking a new home for their research endeavors, offering robust support and funding opportunities that encourage mobility and collaboration."
"Our commitment to strengthen free and open research is unwavering, and we believe this moment provides a unique opportunity for international researchers looking for a supportive environment."
