Dear all, the EU plans to cut the budget for research funding by 33%, from 120B € to 81B €. There is an open letter to the European Commission President. You can join multiple nobel laureates and > 1000 other researchers to protest against these cuts: http://www.rescue-horizon-europe.org/ From the initiative's website:
The drastic cuts to European research will have devastating effects on our ability to address major challenges of our times – including climate change, pandemics, quantum technology, artificial intelligence or personal medicine. It will inevitably lead to exodus of scientific excellence, technological dependencies, and diminished patient care. It will limit Europe’s ability to innovate and to develop a more prosperous and sustainable economy.
We want to remind you that behind political discussions and budget decisions arranged behind closed doors, there are real people, exceptionally talented scientists, who will leave Europe; real scientific questions that will not be answered; real progress that will not happen. All of that to the detriment of the people whom you have sworn to serve.
