Brussels wants faster visa paths to lure US researchers.
The European Commission wants European countries to speed up visa procedures to attract US researchers.
The bloc’s research ministers are set to meet 23 May to discuss their plans to attract US-based researchers who want to flee the country because of the Trump administration's budget cuts in science and research.

@helenczerski Yes, it's infuriating, but we must keep fighting! Use our new toolkit for contacting elected officials to demand they #DefendResearch. Make calls with our script & background information (with testimonials from #researchers), then share with your networks and ask them to do the same! https://www.defendresearch.org/take-action/toolkits-for-action

“ @claesdevreese, Professor of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam, argues that ties with US peers and the careers of young scholars have been jeopardized by cuts to US research.”
Academics and Researchers !! 
I'm running a study looking at how academics/researchers get feedback on their research and we need just a few more responses. If you'd like to help, the online survey is here:

#LabPlot, the project for #statisticians, #researchers, #scientists, #engineers, #educators and #students, publishes version 2.12 of its #FREE comprehensive #dataAnalysis and #visualization tool. 
This version adds more plots and #plot sub-types, expands the number of functions for spreadsheets, includes new analysis tools, as well as an experimental software development kit.
The project is partly funded through @NGIZero.

@noamross Critical work--thank you for this! #researchers who've lost funding, consider providing a testimonial about the impact of this form of censorship on your work! https://www.defendresearch.org/testimonials
"#DeepSeek, and the #opensource #AIecosystem surrounding it, has rapidly evolved from a brief snapshot of technological brilliance into something much bigger—and much harder to stop. Tens of thousands of developers, from seasoned #researchers to passionate #hobbyists, are now working on enhancing, tuning, and extending these open source models in ways no centralized entity could manage alone."

#Eindhoven Tech President Robert-Jan Smits said bringing in #US scientists could boost #Europe's #technological sovereignty in areas like #semiconductors.
#Belgium's sister #universities Vrije Universiteit Brussel & Université Libre de Bruxelles launched a scheme encouraging US-based #researchers to apply for 36 postdoctoral positions. And the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, which promotes the exchange of top scientists to #Germany, plans to increase its programs by ~20%.
"Regulatory #uncertainty, #funding cuts, #immigration restrictions, & diminished international collaboration create a perfect storm for #BrainDrain," said Gray McDowell at…Capgemini Invent.
…#Europe's political leaders feel the stance of the #Trump admin has put wind in their sails.
"The American government is currently using brute force against the #universities in the #USA, so that #researchers from #America are now contacting Europe," #Germany's chancellor-in-waiting, Friedrich Merz, said.
In #Germany, as part of coalition talks for a new govt, conservatives and Social Democrats have drawn up plans to lure up to 1,000 #researchers, acc/to negotiation docs from March seen by Reuters that allude to the upheaval in #US higher learning.
Reuters spoke to 13 European #universities & #research institutes that reported seeing an increase in US-based employees considering crossing the Atlantic, as well as half a dozen US-based #academics pondering a move to #Europe.
The European Research Council, an #EU body that finances #scientific work, told Reuters it would double the relocation budget for funding #researchers moving to the EU to €2 million ($2.16 million) per applicant. That goes towards covering the cost of moving to a European institution, which may involve setting up a laboratory.

In recent wks, federal authorities have detained a handful of other #university #students & #researchers – including #GreenCard holders – who have expressed #Palestinian solidarity amid #Israel’s deadly war on #Gaza. Earlier this week, 30-yr-old #RumeysaOzturk, a Turkish doctoral student at #Tufts University, was detained by masked federal ofcls in dramatic footage that has caused widespread outrage.
