    Europe looks to poach US researchers as Trump cuts funding

    Twelve EU capitals want programs to bring over American scholars.

    A group of European countries is devising a strategy to
    poach researchers in the United States in response to
    American government cuts in education and research.

    Twelve governments said the European Union needs an
    "attractivity boom" to bring over talent from abroad
    "who might suffer from research interference and ill-
    motivated and brutal funding cuts," in a letter to
    the European Commission seen by POLITICO.

    The undated letter was addressed to EU Innovation
    Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva and signed by France,
    the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Estonia,
    Latvia, Spain, Slovenia, Germany, Greece, Bulgaria
    and Romania.

    They HAD to make it political by throwing-in "ill-motivated" :-)

    ANYway ... the USA had been luring-over scholars/researchers
    from the EU (plus India and maybe too many from China) for
    a long time. We offered them more money and easy integration.

    Trump targeted "government"/'govt-paid' jobs however - not
    private industry. WHAT the brain-trust people have been doing
    is unclear. Likely only SOME of it was "science/med" - the
    rest could have been researching better pro-tranny brainwashing
    methods for 5-year-olds or something.

    If the EU can out-bid American industry and/or privately-
    funded university programs then, well, fair is fair. We
    did it, they can do it.
