Europe is a top destination for researchers and innovators. And we’re aiming higher than ever.

Choose Science, Choose Europe. 🇪🇺

Two scientists, a woman and a man, wearing safety goggles and lab coats, examine a robotic device. Overlaid text reads "Choose Europe – Freedom to explore, research and innovate. Discover how" with the European Union flag.

The EU flag is shown with a headline "Europe offers:" followed by a list: Stable funding and careers, Academic freedom and scientific excellence, High quality of life (healthcare, education, pensions), and Collaboration beyond borders.

Two young women smile while looking at a tablet, surrounded by EU stars. Text reads: "Choose Europe – €500 million for 2025–2027 to make Europe a magnet for researchers."

Here is one big reason to choose Europe to advance with your research career:

We 💙 science.

A great success! Tx to all the speakers and participants for fantastic talks and good discussions! #immunometabolism #DFG #Universitätsmedizin Mainz

I am so excited to share our new publication on Nature Metabolism about the metabolic reprogramming in gamma delta T cells in response to inflammation.

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.
