We organized round tables in 4 countries to get feedback on the ENDORSE concept.
Sweden started on November 17, 2022 and received valuable reflections & great input from 40 participants: students, academic staff and local stakeholders shaping the business environment.

The four types of regions are:

327 NUTS3 regions in 24 EU countries were identified as brain drainers. Subsequently, they were classified based on socioeconomic factors, resulting in 4 types of regions.

Numerically, the largest EU countries are also those with the most higher education institutions. The top 5 are Germany 🇩🇪 (401), Poland 🇵🇱 (243), Italy 🇮🇹(207), France 🇫🇷 (206) and Belgium 🇧🇪 (150). However, if the number of inhabitants is included, the picture is different.

[Project ENDORSE @Project_ENDORSE]

In Cyprus, for example, there are on average 34,000 inhabitants per university, in Slovenia 40,000 and in Latvia 46,000. The EU country with the largest population, Germany, comes 19th in the ranking, while the eighth largest country, Belgium, reaches fifth place.

[Project ENDORSE @Project_ENDORSE]

Not every location succeeds equally well in retaining graduates. This is mainly due to the different socio-economic conditions that prevail. ENDORSE has taken a closer look, because one thing is clear: there is no "one size fits all" approach to such a wide range of requirements.

[Project ENDORSE @Project_ENDORSE]

Our project deals with brain drain at university locations and aims to counteract it. But what is brain drain anyway?
