In the scene of German science, it is currently thinking about how to use brains from the United States of America. After all, American research suffers from discounts and from the spirit of Trump camp.
Politicians have already promised to reduce obstacles: the visa must be granted more easily, the culture of welcome is enhanced and the exchange programs are enhanced. The new coalition agreement even contains the Minds 1000 program for international researchers. But: How promising are these considerations?
Many scientists in the United States are planning to leave the country
According to a survey 75 percent of young scientists working in the United States are considering leaving the country to leave the country. DAAD also confirms the increased demand for jobs, exchange and scholarship programs, and Vice President Morel Helbij confirms:
“In member universities and in the Daad office in New York. It is increasingly important to international doctoral students and doctoral mission, in fact, young scientists. By the way, not only Americans, but also international youth who are currently active in the United States of America because the conditions for them are very difficult.
The Trump government always makes you notice new data to combat science. Recently, Robert F. caused. Kennedy Junior (in the picture on the far left) in a stir in dealing with the outbreak of measles. But German universities can benefit from this brain migration.

More requests from the United States of America
The head of the Max Planck Association, Patrick Kramer, notes that requests from the United States of America have multiplied by international researchers and even multiplied by people with people with an American pass. Cramer regrets the truly distant negative effects of Trump’s term on the science company, but also welcomes: “We may be able to win the talent or other talents of Europe – a person we could not win.”
“There are a number of measures that can have support. It is related to the visa and we also have improvement needs when it comes to welcoming culture to international colleagues in Germany.
The health and medicine area is also affected by pieces
As a rule, financial discounts and stops in the United States of America are assumed to be particularly affected by specialized fields such as sexual studies or climate system research and Earth system. However, health sciences and medical research are also under bicycles. Especially the National Institute of the Gallery evaporates strongly. Morel Helbij, Vice President of Daad, warns that the entire American science system has entered into a crisis:
“Since the funding opportunities are withdrawn, for example, each of the scholarships for post -doctoral students or individual doctoral students as well as adding to laboratories or the like.

Research cooperation is also affected by discounts
Discounts under Trump also have an effect on research cooperation. For example, Heidelberg University is affected. There was a research project to develop tuberculosis, funded by the United States of America, the US Federal Development Cooperation Agency. Because of the cessation of funding, the project now lacks several million euros during the next five years. Daad Hilbeg Vice President is born in the American and believes it is right to develop other exchange programs, but also to support the American science system on the site in this crisis.
What we warn is that we do this as a kind of sale, and put it under the title, and that we are a campaign of resonance (…) because in the narration of us and how we show our American colleagues, this is a complete role. It is very important now that we do not destroy the relationship of confidence in our cooperation and the American science system on the site.

German universities are not very attractive to senior researchers from the United States of America
Realistically, German universities and universities compatible with the state are not really attractive to the most important researchers from the United States of America. Because the high salaries are not only paid there, but the research field equipment is more comprehensive than us.
National research organizations such as the Max Planck Association or the Helm Hilhultz community are particularly interesting for the Supreme Forces. You can pay a non -hot and provide more search freedom.
Research asylum is not a solution
Morel Helbij is a kind of research for scientists to be a false approach. Simply not to say: “Well, it comes to us largely in Europe. The science system in America is also much greater than our counterpart. We could not intercept it completely (…).”
Most researchers who are ready for immigration are the youth
Most scientists who want to leave the United States are young – and this group often complains about unstable working conditions in Germany. In addition, Murel Helbig: “So we have no permanent situations in the small area, yes or very few, this will not change much either.
However, there is a possibility here. This is very interesting for young scientists. Germany can also register with good infrastructure in universities. Last and not another, it is also important that we are a stable and safe country.
“We have long been a popularly targeted country for scientists.”
But it is equally important to support scientists in the United States. Morel Helbij says: Because in particular, the people who got the flag there although the opposite winds wanted support on the site, he says: “I think this is very closely related, because at some point the wind will turn again, and at some point it will be different again. This means that we must also give strength and send strength to maintain a strong science system on the site.
