Abstract

Between 2011 and 2014 a multinational team of academics and researchers collaborated on a research project funded by the European Commission under the Framework 7 Programme: Mapping the Population, Careers, Mobilities and Impacts of Advanced Research Degree Graduates in the Social Sciences and Humanities (POCARIM).
One aim of the project was to explore the movement and engagement of social science and humanities (SSH) PhDs across national borders. Specifically, we aimed to understand the motivations behind and the obstacles to international mobility, and its consequences and impacts not just for the individual but for social and economic communities on multiple scales.
In this policy report we present the project’s key findings on internationalisation. Our findings are based on original work carried out in each of the POCARIM countries and which includes: a review of the literature, policy and existing data, as well as original empirical survey and interview research. We draw out the implications of our findings for policymakers.
