20.500.12556/RUL-190113 Od bega do kroženja možganov: dejavniki izselitve, vračanja in možnosti čezmejnega sodelovanja From Brain Drain to Brain Circulation: Factors of Emigration, Return Migration and Opportunities for Transnational Collaboration Magistrska naloga preučuje dejavnike, ki vplivajo na izseljevanje, vračanje in sodelovanje slovenskih znanstvenikov ter raziskovalcev v tujini. Posebna pozornost je namenjena vlogi socialnih mrež, ki pomembno oblikujejo odločitve posameznikov ter omogočajo ohranjanje strokovnih in osebnih vezi s Slovenijo. V teoretičnem delu so predstavljeni koncepta bega in kroženja možganov ter z njima povezani pojmi, ključni vidiki preseljevanja znanstvenikov in strokovnjakov ter izbrani primeri tujih praks, ki prikazujejo različne pristope k sodelovanju z znanstveno diasporo. Empirični del temelji na raziskavi o čezmejni mobilnosti, ki je bila izvedena med slovenskimi znanstveniki in raziskovalci v tujini. Rezultati kažejo, da so glavni razlogi za odhod boljše možnosti za karierni razvoj, bolj kakovostna raziskovalna infrastruktura in mednarodno okolje, medtem ko se za vračanje večinoma odločajo iz osebnih razlogov, povezanih z družino in kakovostjo življenja. Socialne mreže imajo pomembno vlogo v vseh fazah mobilnosti, saj delujejo kot vir podpore, informacij in povezovanja. Naloga poudarja potrebo po oblikovanju nacionalne strategije, ki bi sistematično spodbujala sodelovanje med Slovenijo in njeno znanstveno diasporo. The master’s thesis examines the factors influencing the emigration, return, and collaboration of Slovenian scientists and researchers working abroad. Special attention is given to the role of social networks, which significantly shape individual decisions and enable the maintenance of professional and personal ties with Slovenia. The theoretical part presents the concepts of brain drain and brain circulation, along with related notions, key aspects of scientist and expert mobility, and selected examples of foreign practices that illustrate different approaches to cooperation with the scientific diaspora. The empirical part is based on a mobility survey conducted among Slovenian scientists and researchers abroad. The results show that the main reasons for leaving are better opportunities for career development, higher-quality research infrastructure, and an international working environment, while return decisions are mostly motivated by personal reasons related to family and quality of life. Social networks play an important role in all phases of mobility, serving as a source of support, information, and connection. The thesis emphasizes the need to develop a national strategy that would systematically promote cooperation between Slovenia and its scientific diaspora.
