Trump has slashed education funding, meaning many US universities are facing hiring freezes and budget constraints. Economist Monika Schnitzer speaks to DW’s Marie Sina about the opportunities for German universities and research institutions to tempt academics and scientists to cross the pond.

I think this is related to Europe as it may try to take advantage of the current situation in the US to its advantage. This one focuses on Germany.

    A key problem in Germany is that the job-market is underpaid compared to the US, Switzerland, Luxembourg etc.

    Nowadays, the majority of researchers works on AI-related challenges that are industrially motivated. Many of these researchers do not desire to stay in Academia.

    This makes it even more important to have a job market that matches the qualifications of these researchers upon their PhD-level education. I don’t know if Germany will be able to incentivize people enough.
