Le Monde: 'It is pointless to imagine a significant wave of American academics leaving'
The new US administration's approach to science has raised concerns, though the impact on research budgets appears limited. Proposed cuts to NIH overhead payments were halted by a federal judge, and overall federal spending on research remains around $150 billion, with minimal expected reductions.
In contrast, France is facing more significant budget cuts for research and higher education, totaling €904 million in 2024. Despite fears of funding losses, institutions like Stanford University are only implementing minor adjustments, such as a hiring freeze, while maintaining substantial budgets compared to their international counterparts.
