The Netherlands is setting up a fund to attract top foreign scientists, aiming to enhance international mobility amid changing geopolitical climates.
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Netherlands is setting up a fund to attract top foreign scientists to the Netherlands, Education Minister Eppo Bruins said in a letter to parliament on Thursday.
Bruins did not give a timeline but said the fund should be operational as soon as possible.
"There is currently a great global demand for international top scientific talent. At the same time, the geopolitical climate is changing, which is currently increasing the international mobility of scientists," Bruins wrote.
While Bruins said the fund would be accessible to scientists of all nationalities, the announcement came as U.S. President Donald Trump's government is cutting research grants for several universities, including Columbia University and Johns Hopkins University.
