EXPLORING PROFESSIONALS MIGRATION

Science Research on topics of brain drain and brain gain.

MOTIVATION & BACKGROUND


We are PhD and undergraduate students behind the academic as well as business research on the Brain Drain topic.

Research objectives

We are a research initiative running since 2016, where we explore migration of professional workforce within Slovakia as well as trends overall globally. Main goal is to find similarities and differences between the brain drain factors in Slovakia and compare with other countries that are known for working actively with brain drain topic at many levels.
We would like to share the findings more widely then to help mostly regions that are facing critical brain drain in last decades and help them to promote home-coming to wider audience, so regions will become strong again.

Team and researches

Our team consists of young professionals led by 2 seniors from Technical University of Kosice. All team members have lived abroad outside of home country for a certain period between 1 to 20 years. These are also our real stories that lead us to find out more about how we made our decisions to go abroad and return.
We have done initial research on all research on the given topic abroad and now real science starts when we are planning to reach out over 1000 people that are living outside of the country of their origin and finding out more about their motivations to return or not.
