The European Union will propose a €500 million ($566.9 million) package to attract scientists to Europe, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday in Paris.
“Science is an investment – and we need to offer the right incentives,” the president of the bloc’s executive said during a speech at the “Choose Europe for Science” event at the Sorbonne university attended by French President Emmanuel Macron. The package, she added, is meant to “make Europe a magnet for researchers.”
