Turning brain drain into brain networking

Challenges for career and mobility of researchers in Europe

“…Typically, there is a combination of pull factors (attraction by some foreign countries) and push factors (discontent with the context in home country) for the international mobility of researchers (Ciumaasu, 2010). But this terminological framework is not quite correct.…”

“…For the sending countries, the loss of human capital can at least be partially offset by the opportunity to gain external knowledge and expertise, and access to global networks through the diaspora networks (Ciumaasu, 2010). The mobility of scientists can also promote investment in training in the sending countries.…”

A PhD in information systems for emerging economies: the Addis Ababa University model

“…While we are seeing some evidence of brain circulation (Castles, 2009) and brain networking (Ciumasu, 2010), which describe the contributions of the brain drain diaspora to their home country while residing in their adopted country, these efforts do not replace the long-term need to cultivate local talent. Furthermore, the proposition that labor export facilitates economic development at home has proven to be false (Castles, 2009).…”

“…The African talent diaspora can help in many ways including brain circulation (Castles, 2009), brain network (Ciumasu, 2010), production, dissemination, and absorption of knowledge (Nnaemeka, 2007), and engagement in short-term teaching in their home countries. In summary, "The African Diaspora must address questions about the production, dissemination, and absorption of knowledge" (Nnaemeka, 2007, p. 11).…”

Transition and the problem of 'brain drain' from the perspective of students of a privately owned university

“…Сагледава се одлив мозгова у контексту глобализације и мултикултуралности (Marga, 2010) раз-вијених земаља, али и могући позитивни ефекти за земље из којих долазе експерти (Mountford, 1997). Неки аутори предлажу начине за трансформисање "одлива мозго-ва" у "прилив мозгова" у европским земљама (Grigolo et al, 2010) и увођење концепта "умрежавање одлива" (Ciumasu, 2010).Већина аутора се слаже да су последице одлива мозгова смањење конкурент-ности, смањење квалитета истраживачких тимова "рада и смањења истраживачке мотивације" за укључивање у дугорочне пројекте. Други резултат је слабији квалитет преношења знања на будуће генерације и истовремено слабљење будућег људског капитала.…”
