Summary
The Netherlands announced a new fund to attract top scientists, responding to U.S. researchers leaving due to political pressures and funding cuts.
Education Minister Eppo Bruins emphasized the need for swift action to position the Netherlands as a refuge.
Dutch universities and research bodies support the initiative, citing the importance of academic freedom and innovation.
However, domestic budget cuts and proposed limits on skilled immigration could hinder recruitment. The initiative follows similar efforts by France to attract American talent.
Hello. Yes, I do science?
Someone should. Trump and Musk made it very clear scientists aren’t wanted in America.
