• The Nazi regime in Germany in the 1930s caused many scientists, mainly Jews, to flee to the United States, contributing to its prosperity due to their intellectual input.
• The return of Donald Trump to power has weakened this system of knowledge production and transfer.
• France launched an initiative in 2017 to welcome scientific refugees, but later reduced its funding.
• Emmanuel Macron announced financial support to continue attracting scientists through the 'Choose Europe for Science' initiative.
• The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, proposed an additional 500 million euros to strengthen the European appeal.

Conclusion: Despite these efforts, the proposed amounts may be insufficient compared to the damage inflicted by the United States on their own research. Furthermore, the recent reforms in France are not perceived as enough.
