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.

    anywhere that isn’t is gonna be attractive to researchers.

    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.
