71% Informative
In the Netherlands , researchers are bracing for 1 billion ( US$1.1 billion ) in cuts to the budget, the worst in decades .
Italy , Hungary , Slovakia and Croatia have also elected governments that include far-right parties.
The parties, whose focus is typically immigration, care little about research, say policy experts.
France ’s new centre-right government has disappointed scientists by scrapping long-term budget increases.
But the rise of far-right parties focused on immigration bodes particularly ill for research.
These are single-issue parties,’ says Robert-Jan Smits , president of Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands .
