Scientists in the U.S. are turning towards Europe for research opportunities after facing job cuts and funding reductions under the Trump administration. European countries are increasing funding to attract U.S. researchers, with the European Research Council doubling its relocation budget for funding researchers moving to the EU. However, Europe still faces challenges in matching the research investment of the U.S. Despite the potential drawbacks of moving, such as language barriers and unfamiliar laws, many scientists see the political climate in the U.S. as an opportunity to pursue their research in Europe.
