Summary
The Netherlands announced a new fund to attract top scientists, responding to U.S. researchers leaving due to political pressures and funding cuts.
Education Minister Eppo Bruins emphasized the need for swift action to position the Netherlands as a refuge.
Dutch universities and research bodies support the initiative, citing the importance of academic freedom and innovation.
However, domestic budget cuts and proposed limits on skilled immigration could hinder recruitment. The initiative follows similar efforts by France to attract American talent.
Hello. Yes, I do science?
I too worked at the science factory. One visa please.
Someone should. Trump and Musk made it very clear scientists aren’t wanted in America.

Damn I should have gotten my stem degree
probably need a PHD, i dont think they are in the market for BS or MS in stems. alot of people often end up with the former rather than the latter, the lack of stem experience opportunities(aka lab work/research) make it very hard to get to the PHD levels.
covid has been terrible for people in the states that had to go through thier whole college experience ONLINE only. it was bad before covid, covid just unmasked everything thats wrong with career development of stem majors.
several nazi bars in amsterdam.
You visiting all of them?
The American brain drain.
Cool, now we need to sort out housing quick. Cause where will all those scientists stay!?
