POCARIM policy brief 5 : internationalisation and international mobility in social science and humanities careers

Coey, CTA; Kupiszewska, D; Kupiszewski, M

Abstract

The Innovation Union Communication asserts the need for researchers to be able ‘to work and cooperate across the EU as easily as within national borders’ and for the development of ‘frameworks for a truly free movement of knowledge’ (2010b). In this way policymakers aim to establish Europe as the most advanced knowledge-based economy in the world.

Against this background the POCARIM project explored the movement and engagements of social science and humanities (SSH) PhDs across national borders. Specifically, we aimed to understand the motivations behind and the obstacles to international mobility, as well as its consequences and impacts not just for the individual but for social and economic communities on multiple scales.
