März 2025 As researchers in the United States are feeling threatened or hindered in their work, Aix Marseille Université announces the establishment of a S*afe Place for Science,* a programme dedicated to welcoming scientists wishing to continue their research in an environment conducive to innovation, excellence, and academic freedom. ![](/storage/files/illustration-elea-ropiot.jpg) © Eléa Ropiot for Aix Marseille Université In recent years, 25 researchers from Ukraine, Yemen, Afghanistan and, more recently, the Palestinian territories have been welcomed to the south of France with their families, as part of the *Pause* programme, which supports researchers and artists forced into exile. Now, American researchers wishing to pursue their work are also welcomed in France: > *We expect to be able to raise around 10 million euros and will work with local institutions to welcome around 15 researchers"*, says Eric Berton, the President of Aix Marseille Université. The institution is particularly ready to welcome researchers specialising in subjects that could be censored by the United States, such as climate. amU is committed to facilitating the arrival of interested researchers and their families. The applications received will be examined in the coming days. Scholarships and chairs will then be offered to researchers, along with premises and laboratories. The President of amU hopes that his example will be followed by other initiatives in French universities and in Europe. **Find out more in the [original story, in French](https://www.univ-amu.fr/fr/public/actualites/safe-place-science-aix-marseille-universite-prete-accueillir-les-scientifiques).** ### Latest Highlights: *[Growing vegetables in space might be possible, SUR study reveals](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/growing-vegetables-in-space-might-be-possible-sur-study-reveals)* *[QS World University Rankings 2025: The University of Bucharest ranks among the Top 500 Universities Worldwide for Sustainable Development](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/qs-world-university-rankings-2025-the-university-of-bucharest-ranks-among-the-top-500-universities-worldwide-for-sustainable-development)* *[French professor Corine Pelluchon awarded the Lucas Prize by the University of Tübingen](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/french-professor-corine-pelluchon-awarded-the-lucas-prize-by-the-university-of-tubingen)* [*Two UNIL Professors awarded with Doctor Honoris Causa by NKUA*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/two-unil-professors-awarded-doctor-honoris-causa-nkua) *[Sapienza opening of the academic year, held outside the Rome University for the first time](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/sapienza-opening-of-the-academic-year-held-outside-the-rome-university-for-the-first-time)* Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/post-it-risks-800x600.jpg?token=3f32ba7f3ab0220e88eeac41defdd8bf)Innovative micro-credential for professionals on AI for the workplace launched by CIVIS Learn 10.
