Considering a move out of the United States?

With research programs being cut and university funding under threat, many scientists may be  exploring opportunities abroad.  Just this week, I read about Europe actively recruiting researchers—backed by investment from the European Commission to make research careers more appealing.

Relocating abroad can be exciting, career-boosting, and life-changing—but it’s also a major transition. 

One often-overlooked challenge?

👉 Building a new support system.

This isn't just about professional networking. It's about forming real connections—with colleagues, friends, communities—that help you feel grounded and connected in a new place.

❓ One key question to ask yourself before making the move:

How will I build my support system in a new country?

💡 A Tip: Once you’ve relocated—nurture those new relationships. It will take time, but you can build something meaningful.

I'm curious to hear from others who’ve made the leap:

❓ What helped you feel at home in a new country? 🌍
