Europe’s choice is clear.
To put science at the heart of its economy.
To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.
And to welcome talent from all over the world.
I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative.

As someone who grew up in a politically and economically collapsing post-communist Eastern European state in the 1990s, I want to caution everyone. Impoverishment can happen very, (surprisingly even!), quickly. We are on that path, if there is no course correction.
