Toulouse Offers Sanctuary: A Haven for US Scientists Facing Budget Cuts

In response to drastic US budget cuts threatening scientific research, the Toulouse academic community is launching an initiative to host researchers whose work is at risk. Supported by the Occitanie Region and the French government, the program initially offers ten positions for scientists in humanities, climate science, health, and space research. This act of solidarity aims to safeguard crucial research and data, and underscores Toulouse's commitment to academic freedom and scientific progress. Applications open in April 2024, with researchers expected to arrive in 2025.
