Researchers in Hungary raise fears of brain drain after ‘body blow’ EU funding suspension

Researchers in Hungary worry that the country could be facing brain drain in science, after the European Union suspended funding for research projects at some universities.

In December 2022, the Council of the European Union, a group of government ministers from each of the EU’s 27 countries, agreed to freeze funding for research and exchange programmes — amounting to around €6.3 billion (US$7 billion) — for higher-education and cultural institutions in Hungary, including 21 universities.
