Van Ter Lean says to American scientists threatened by Trump’s policies: “Choose Europe”
AdvertisementUrsula Van Ter Leen has called on American scientists who have been threatened by Donald Trump’s policies, and Ursula van der Leyen has promised to them more financial concessions, long contracts, low bureaucracy and legal commitment to respect their freedom of trial.
“We must protect science than ever before, a global science is shared and united by all humanity,” said the Chairman of the European Commission on Monday at the University of La Sorbone in Paris.
“We can all accept that science does not have a passport, gender, race or political party.”
“We believe that diversity is an asset of mankind and the life force of science. This is one of the most valuable global products, which must be protected,” he said.
Van der Leine did not mention Trump by the name, and his spokesman then said that this speech was not about “the way the science manages in other countries”.
However, a number of references to the importance of the “free and open” investigation have created little doubts about its final goal: the chance of America turned Europe the chance.
Since he returned to the White House, Trump has implemented intense cuts in the central budget, which has lost the ability to support scientific institutions, research institutions and medical centers in subsidies for thousands of dollars to support important studies that require trusted and sustainable funds. Programs that have focused on climate change, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and HIV prevention have already been affected.
In a new request, Trump asked the Congress to reduce the cost of 37% of the National Health Organizations (NIH) costs and the National Science Foundation (NSF), which is more than 50% in the National Science Foundation (NSF), which is aimed at “restoration investments” in priority, as well as priority in priority areas such as AI, Quantum and Nuclear Power.
The two -party consensus for decades of these policies has been united for decades and thus alerting the federal courts to endanger the ability of the United States to compete with other important economies.
A recent study by the US University estimates that a 25% decline in the I&T public spending will reduce the country’s GDP as a “comparable amount” for the decline registered during the major recession.
At the same time, Trump launched a campaign to eliminate their diversity projects against elite universities and threatened to reduce federal funding and change their tax regimes.
“Unfortunately, the role of science in today’s world is being questioned. Investment is being arrested in basic, free and open investigation,” Van der Leine said in Paris.
“What a magnificent calculation error”.
Van der Leine later presented a new initiative called “Europe’s choice” to attract American (US) scientists and researchers and other countries.
As part of this initiative, the social administrator said he would seek to reduce bureaucratic fees, access the risk capital, and provide long -term contracts and more subsidies. In addition, the European Union will establish a seven -year “Super -Subspeate” and add funding to the subsidy of those who choose to move.

The project will be based on the existing investigation plans, especially the euro base of 93 billion euros, and will cover the new fuel of 500 million euros in the period of 2025-2027.
“The first priority is to ensure that science is still open and free in Europe. This is our business card,” he told the audience.
“We have to do everything we can to protect it. Now more than ever.”
AdvertisementFrench President Emmanuel Macron, who immediately spoke of the pursuit of the leader of the group, was very obvious in his punishment.
“A few years ago, no one could imagine the cancellation of research programs under the excuse that one of the world’s largest democratic countries in this project would have the word diversity,” Macron said.
“No one can think that this great democracy in the world is the most strongly based on its economic model free science and novelty (…). This is wrong. But we are here.”
The French leader has rejected any dictaty that allows governments to impose the scientists who cannot investigate or investigate. Macron quoted two specific fields targeting the Trump administration – women’s health and climate activity.
