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/eloise-gennet-800x600.jpg?token=eeba5f64d6ca692c4cf84ac262c2e9a2)Éloïse Gennet: a Civizen building an integrated European university People 22 septembrie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/eloise-gennet-a-civizen-building-an-integrated-european-university) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-3i-800x600.jpg?token=cdaaf78fd06e8e65fdfb5b50ef1a8355)CIVIS3i: Five Years Advancing Research Excellence Across CIVIS Alliance Alliance projects 28 iulie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/civis3i-five-years-advancing-research-excellence-across-civis-alliance) - [ ![](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 februarie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/civis-micro-credentials-ai-and-work-supporting-teams-through-change) [ Descoperiți toate articolele noastre ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom) [ Renewed Olympic certification for the Salzburg's Sports Centre ](%20https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/renewed-olympic-certification-for-the-salzburg-s-sports-centre%20) [ Growing vegetables in space might be possible, SUR study reveals ](%20https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/growing-vegetables-in-space-might-be-possible-sur-study-reveals%20) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
