Nearly 300 scientists, primarily from the US, applied to Aix-Marseille University's 'Safe Place For Science' program due to funding cuts under the Trump administration. The program, offering refuge for researchers, has received 298 applications, with 242 eligible. Around 20 Americans will be accepted. This reflects a broader trend of European institutions seeking to attract American scientists facing funding reductions and rollbacks on diversity initiatives under the Trump administration. Other European countries like the Netherlands are also making efforts to recruit international scientists.
