| Description |
The starting point for ENMOB is human mobility as a mechanism of knowledge distribution and diffusion. Its role in enhancing the innovative capabilities of firms, regions and nations will be explored. Focus will be on highly skilled persons, on science- industry relations, and on issues arising for public policy. ENMOB will also address international mobility, i.e. the question of brain drain/circulation, both by exchanging experiences on various sources of data and by discussing the conceptual and methodological issues involved. The digitalisation of information means that there are now new sources of data from both public and private institutions that might be of great use for mobility studies. The use of Electronic CVs on the Internet is one example of this phenomenon. ENMOB will monitor and assess these developments.
