Trump has slashed education funding, meaning many US universities are facing hiring freezes and budget constraints. Economist Monika Schnitzer speaks to DW’s Marie Sina about the opportunities for German universities and research institutions to tempt academics and scientists to cross the pond.
I think this is related to Europe as it may try to take advantage of the current situation in the US to its advantage. This one focuses on Germany.
If you can attract researchers by doing absolutely nothing, someone else fucked up.
The US is at war with education and academia in general, anywhere that isn’t is gonna be attractive to researchers.
I almost expect USA refugees in Canada. Certainly, non-WASP, non-cis people could claim being in danger at home.
To an extent yes, but with far-right politics and general anti-immigration sentiment on the rise immigrating to Germany only to potentially find more of the same five years later isn’t an attractive prospect. I as one such future engineer/researcher definitely know Germany isn’t high on my list of places I want to immigrate to.
Yea I wasn’t thinking of Germany so much as… anywhere else than the US in general.
