Scientists are leaving the USA en masse due to funding cuts and attacks on academic freedom. France's response is to launch the grant program Choose France for Science for 46 researchers who are ready to relocate to local cities! The program was launched last year. According to statistics, most scientists participating in Choose France for Science previously worked at US universities.
France's strategy targeting scientists from the USA is part of the broader European program Choose Europe, launched by the European Commission in the spring of last year. The program's goal is to support international mobility of scientists and attract the best minds to Europe.
American experts warn that this trend will eventually lead to a decline in the quality of higher education within the country and will negatively affect the fields of healthcare and engineering. Many specialists are convinced that US authorities are causing serious damage to their reputation as a global leader in science: due to recent changes in visa and education policy, the country is losing an entire generation of scientists who could have made a significant contribution to the development of American science.
