| Objectives |
This project, commissioned by INTAS, aims to gain an understanding of the phenomenon of brain drain and its implications for the process of reconstruction in the republics of the former Soviet-Union. Four republics will be investigated: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. While the project places an emphasis on the emigration of scientists from these republics it seeks to position this particular phenomenon in the more general context of labour-restructuring processes with a view of examining the changing role of science and research in these societies. Insofar as studies on the subject are as yet scarce, the project will aim to elaborate tools that may be used for studying this and related phenomena over longer periods of time. |
