I hope programming gets a similar pull as research does, bit I understand why it wouldn't.

We should check who they voted for first though. Trumpanzees should be forced to eat their own dogshit.
Ha, you may end up becoming the thing you are trying to prevent becoming with that attitude.
I said "No thanks" earlier but a operation reversed paperclip is fine by me
Freshly elected Canadian prime minister Mark Carney spend three minutes playing with/unfolding a paper clip while giving his first press conference last week.... Sooooo....
I'm all for draining what little brains remain in the carcass. It's not like they're using them anyway.
It would be a dream to work on open source/research over in Europe for a job. Helps everyone and actual healthcare for my family.
I have been thinking of moving to a Nordic country, and downloaded an app recently to start learning Finnish. I probably should have looked where my field is in highest demand first lol.
Does anyone know if the typical restrictions for disabled people moving to the EU will be loosened in this context?

I've never heard of such a thing. Care to elaborate?
I may have misremembered this, because I'm struggling to find concrete information now. I had read at one point that an application will be rejected if the cost for care exceeds a certain amount. It's possible it was country specific and not EU in general. My health care is covered in the US because I'm a disabled veteran, but one of my medications is over $7k per week if I were to pay out of pocket.
Other countries, like Australia and NZ, have restrictions on applicants with mental disorders, like PTSD

Et ole menossa siitä, missä aita on matalin.
Yup. Not too long ago I posted that if I could go back in time, I would have learned Finnish, and moved to Finland. The more I learn about that country, the more I think they’ve figured it out. Sadly, I’m too old now.
Fins are quite fluent in English. You'll do fine learning Finnish as you go.
I can’t wrap my brain around the fact that there are so many people in Alberta, Canada, that want to join the US.
Listen, I'm all for welcoming talent and knowledge and truly believe that scientists play a pivotal role in the collective progress of humanity, but this just reeks of hypocrisy and racism.
You think there are no scientists in South Sudan, Palestine, Bangladesh or Myanmar? Governments around the world have collapsed and people are fleeing literal wars and genocides, but I didn't see the EU scrambling to welcome and embrace scientists from those regions.
The message is going out to scientists from all around the world. Have a look at some quotes in here https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eus-von-der-leyen-invites-scientists-researchers-make-europe-their-home-2025-04-29/ At least in Germany programs to help scientists that are fleeing from oppression are in place. But of course the recent US policies are in focus in the news.
I did look at the link you gave. I didn't see anything about being globally inclusive there.
"This is why Europe is open to the best and brightest. This is why we will make proposals to help them 'Choose Europe'. Because we want scientists and researchers from all over the world to make Europe their home – and to make Europe the home of innovation again."
Me and my fellow French scientists emigrated abroad to work wish it was true. Unfortunately it's only demagogy.
