The movement of researchers out of Europe - 'Brain Drain' - is an issue of deep concern both on an individual nation and pan-European scale. By understanding the factors which influence researchers' mobility decisions, we can potentially impact public policy governing mobility, and we see the possibility to convert brain drain into brain gain.

To better understand the mobility of researchers this Researcher Survey was devised and compiled through the Morebrain Project. This EU FP7¹ funded project is a collaboration between Iceland, Ireland, Israel and Spain as each of those countries has long experience with a research population living and working abroad.

Your Experiences
We invite you to participate in this questionnaire to tell us about your experiences as a researcher. Your answers will help us to understand the push and pull factors which influence the mobility decisions of researchers. The survey should only take 15 minutes to complete. We will not share your answers in any personally identifiable form with any other third party.

Your answers are very important to us.
