  • Europe has the opportunity to attract scientific and intellectual talent in the wake of cuts to science in the United States during the Trump administration.
  • Cuts to the National Institutes of Health and other institutions in the United States are affecting the development of science and causing layoffs.
  • European academic institutions are beginning to present themselves as attractive alternatives for researchers affected by these actions.
  • Science Ministers of the European Union, including Spain's Diana Morant, are advocating for an ambitious program to attract this talent.
  • The proposed plan could involve doubling the funding that fleeing researchers from the United States will receive.

Conclusion: While the plan shows vulnerabilities, it represents a great opportunity for Europe to attract top-level scientific talent and strengthen its research sector.
