Context of Research Project within a Subject of Human Capital
Research of human resources in the field of science and technology today is also on the agenda of reputable international organizations. Worldwide competition for the most talented and highly qualified personnel is intensifying, and maintaining many existing high-tech systems and infrastructures is becoming increasingly difficult due to problems with the quality of human capital.
In Russia, according to the trends of recent years, a situation is emerging in which, despite the reduction in the quantitative ‘brain drain’, there are qualitative losses - more qualified personnel and more highly cited scientific authors leave than those who come to the country. For Russia, this situation is especially dangerous, since higher (in particular, technical) education in the country is at a decent level, which allows talented specialists to be in demand on the international labor market.
The research project Empirical Study of International Cooperation and Mobility of Specialists Employed in the Field of Science and Technology focuses on assessing the scale and directions of national and international mobility of scientists, analyzing current trends in the international division of labor and cooperation in science, as well as studying the conditions and opportunities for professional mobility for the accumulation of in-demand competencies, taking into account the needs of the labor market in the field of science and technology
Project Aim
