Can you do enough to attract scientists to your countries?
AdvertisementThis month the European Commission has promised a new euro package from 2025 to 2027, especially for industrial purposes for investigation plans.
In a speech at the University of Sorbone in Paris, President Ursula Van Ter Lainin said that this constituency requires “protecting science”, and that it is “fuel for growth and progress”, but “questioned in today’s world.”
Budget cuts of the US government are seen as an opportunity to attract the country’s skills to Europe, European Commissioner of European Commissioner for Startups, Inquiry and Innovation.
“In Europe, we are doing things differently. We do not tell the investigators how and what to investigate. We respect the freedom of trial. They are welcome here.”
A new law on the European location of the investigation wants to sanctify the freedom of scientific research.
“In Germany, for example, the freedom of education and trial is considered fundamental rights, and they have already been sanctified in the Constitution,” explains Amandin Hess, who includes advertising to Eurnevs.
Money is decreased and the package may not be sufficient
A new seven -year scholarship will provide long -term professional perspectives, and researchers who go to Europe will receive a subsidiary of the scholarship (which will be duplicated this year).
But when applying for scholarships, the difficulties faced by corporations with bureaucrats and limited budgets facing scientists shows that the EU is far from fulfilling their promises.
“We focus on reducing the bureaucracy, reduce reporting requirements and how to access this plan to small research organizations, this will save time and money for candidates,” states the European Commissioner, Horizon, the main European Finance Program for Inquiry and Innovation.
The Horisont Europa Project has a budget of 93 billion euros in the EU’s seven -year evolution. But member states are responsible for national investment and have significant imbalance: Belgium allocates 3.4 % of its GDP, while Romania allocates only 0.4 %.
Overall, the EU assates 2.2 % of its GDP for investigation and the Commission set a 3 % target in 2030. But this value is even lower than 3.5 % of other advanced areas such as the United States, and Japan is more than 3.3 %.
Scientists fear that the next amendment is not enough to fund the investigation within the budget.
“Public funds are never enough. That is why the Commission is working to invest in the private sector in the inventions of the investigation,” Jaharewa argued.
“But the biggest problem at this time is to change this knowledge to the market, which is the purpose of the fund. The investigation is one of the contracts we see in contracts, but the competitiveness is important to its functioning,” he said.
