The Migration Policy Group, in partnership with the Expert Council of German Foundations on Integration and Migration(SVR), is to look at the appropriateness of instruments for retaining students in different EU Member States, against a backdrop of global competition for talent.
By surveying international students in the final stages of their studies from a number of universities in each of five EU Member States (United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands), the project will comparatively analyse:
- The propensity for graduates to stay in the country of graduation
- The reasons they intend to stay (or leave)
- The relevance, awareness and appreciation of EU Member State regulations to encourage retention
