In a terrific show of unity to bring us into the weekend, the heads of 10 European countries have agreed to allow researchers to take some of their research funds with them to another country. In a region where it is so easy to move about from country to country and with tremendous cooperation (and attempts to lure scientists from other countries), this is probably what is needed to stop some of the concerns of scientists who start research in one place and then are offered more labs or money in another country to continue it and stop the feared "EU brain drain".
