Study Programs in STEM Field in Eastern European Countries vs. Brain Drain

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ((LNME))

Abstract

Smart countries encourage students to enroll study programs in so-called STEM field in order to assure direct positive influence on their own economies. However, if students complete their study in Eastern European countries, how can those countries prevent their STEM graduates to find job in other well-developed countries, as their knowledge is relevant globally? In cases of brain drain, are the STEM studies financially supported by governments an investment or a cost? Should these governments still increase the enrollment quota for STEM field study programs by counting on income contribution from those graduates from abroad?
