Mass migration of US scientists to Europe"According to data from the European Research Council (ERC), the European Union’s premier funding agency for basic research, applications from the United States for its starting, consolidator and advanced grants to individual researchers — worth up to €2.5 million apiece over five years — rose by 120% in its most recent round of calls, compared with an overall rise in applications of 17% (see ‘Choosing Europe’)."nature.com/articles/d41586-026@science

"Advanced Grants — for established principal investigators — saw the greatest leap in US applications, with the number nearly quintupling from 23 to 114. The ERC does not routinely publish information on the nationalities of applicants, but Kieron Flanagan, a science-policy researcher at the University of Manchester, says that he suspects many of these senior researchers are Europe-born or Europe-trained, and are “opting to use the ERC grant as a mechanism to escape the US system”"@science

    "The EC has budgeted €175 billion for the 10th Framework Programme, a follow-up to Horizon Europe starting in 2028. Eurodoc has called for a budget of €220 billion, Dengo says. “Without a substantial increase in funding, and with Europe-based researchers already facing intense competition, additional incoming mobility will inevitably further increase pressure on the system.”"@science
