Amid a wave of layoffs and major federal research funding cuts under the Trump administration, many US-based scientists are reevaluating their careers and considering relocation. In this context, and with the launch of the Choose France for Science initiative on May 5, how is France preparing to welcome American researchers? Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France, and the French ARC Foundation for Cancer Research (Fondation ARC) have established support and reception structures. The Safe Place for Science international program, backed by €26 million in additional annual funding, aims to allocate up to €15 million over 3 years to support displaced researchers. Do you think that America is losing at the long run ?
