“…Studies confirm the intuitive assumption that being 'mobile' and following one’s dreams across borders is correlated with academic success (Veugelers, 2017). However, while the scientific community is making efforts to promote healthier work-life balances and to improve gender equality, the competitive path that leads to permanent research positions requires young scientists to uproot their lives at the exact time when most are engaged in starting their families.…”

“…A specific strand of the literature then analyses the brain drain phenomena (e.g. Horvat, 2004;Veugelers, 2017;Zhang and Lucey, 2017), a human capital flight of skilled individuals providing significant economic benefits for both the migrants themselves and the receiving country -often at the expense of the country of origin. At the same time, emigration remittances and return migration can also have various positive effects on the country of origin (Barsbai et al, 2017or Ratha et al, 2011.…”

Sectoral Impacts of International Labour Migration and Population Ageing in the Czech Republic

This study assesses macroeconomic and sectoral impacts of demographic changes in the Czech Republic, as a result of population ageing and international migration. To do so, it develops a unique dynamic Overlapping Generations Computable General Equilibrium (OLG-CGE) model with detailed representation of individuals of different ages, educational attainment and occupations, as well as interrelations among industrial sectors in producing intermediate and final outputs. The numeric simulations show that the Czech economy will face a substantial reduction in its effective labour supply and changes in sectoral demand patterns, leading to an increase in unit labour costs and consequent shift towards more capitalbased production, price increase for the consumers, and a long-term decrease in demand particularly for agricultural products. While international migration may alleviate the pressure, the annual net immigration would need to increase by at least 8 thousand individuals on average in the 2020-2035 period and by 17 thousand individuals in the 2036-2050 period to offset the negative effects in the long term.

“…Policymakers should be aware that the training of bright young people as aspiring scientists is only one aspect of scientific development of a nation; the aspect of sustainable infrastructure should also be considered as an absolute requirement. Failing that, the danger of brain drain looms large [ 23 ].…”

Modern biology is experiencing a deep transformation by the expansion of molecular-level measurements at all scales, using omics technologies. A key element in this transformation is the field of bioinformatics, that has—in the meanwhile—permeated pretty much all of biological and biomedical research and is now emerging as a key inter-disciplinary area that connects the natural sciences, chemical and electrical engineering, science education and science policy, on a number of science and technology fronts. The strong tradition of open access for large volumes of raw data, collections of complex results and high-quality algorithm implementations in bioinformatics makes the field a unique, special case of open science. We report on our recent research activities, the development of training initiatives in the wider region during the past years, and the lessons learned regarding our efforts away from major epicenters, within the general context of open science.
