Like it or not English is the global lingua franca. The top global talent is unlikely interested in being educated or researching in other languages.

And national university in my opinion should educate in their nation's language(s). Even if it means losing the very crème de la crème of global talent.

If the EU could get its shit together they might some day dump more money in universities than even America does. And create some giant English based universities located on the coast of a sea, somewhere where the EU has the best climate. All just to compete with the global top universities.
