About the event


The highly skilled are fleeing the fields and Europe's rural areas are short of labour. Will migration actually fuel a better future for left-behind regions?

This webinar dives deep into the brain-drain that affects most rural regions by looking at the drivers that make people move and the regional characteristics that make people stay. Learn about the “The Human Migration Database” and how to leverage social media in mobility data analysis. We also explore how research-based policies might give left-behind regions a new chance to gain back those brains.
