Development of Researchers Mobility Policy Guidelines for the Region of Western Balkans

The main objective of the project is the development of guidelines related to researchers mobility policy in the region of the Western Balkans. More specifically these guidelines will aim at the enhancement of the policy of the countries of the region to prevent the brain-drain of researchers and generally to support the research policy of the countries in the area, in terms of strategic planning for the exploitation of human resources, becoming an area of free mobility of researchers.

Another objective is to create synergies acting in close cooperation and complementary to the ERAMORE Network, in terms to keep researchers in their region or to direct them within Europe, fostering the realization of the European Research Area in the region. A consortium composed by CERTH as the coordinator, academic participants representing all countries from Western Balkan, will run the project. CERTH belonging to a neighboring Member State, (Greece) and participating in the ERAMORE Network as Bridgehead Organizations of the National Mobility Centres Networks will assure synergies with the ERAMORE Network and the European Mobility Portal as well.

1.To carry out an extended mapping exercise to ident ify the national web links from the Western Balkan countries which could be useful for the European Mobility Portal, and all the main stakeholders (Research organizations, Industry, and Ministries or Administrative Services) involved with researchers mobil ity.

2.To review the existing mobility policy in EC and Western Balkan region

3.To prepare informative material and mobility guides for all countries
