“Freedom under pressure” the government decided

Date:

The government of Austria decided on Wednesday the promised opening for scientists from the United States. A non -deskcratic admission without long tenders should be possible in ten percent of the cases, it said.

It is clearly indicated that Austria has represented a considerably different position than the US since President Donald Trump took office, said Minister of Science Eva-Maria Holzleitner (Spö). Freedom of science and research was under pressure in the United States. It is about international solidarity, the affected being transferred.

The “Perspectives Package”, which was adopted in the Ministerial Council, is also aimed at students. With the “Student at Risk” program, trade fairs of 1200 euros per month are awarded for around 50 students – not just those from the US. A condition for this exhibition is that the recipients are at risk because of the democracy policy and cannot continue their studies. With the money, a change in an Austrian university must be made possible for you.

In addition, existing programs of the Science Fund FWF and the Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) are advertised via the EUXESSSESSSEXES platform. These special rails are aimed at researchers, for example at the start of their career and advanced postdocs.
