Do you think the this brain drain problem is a logic consequence of the EU or could there be an EU without brain drain?

Matteo BrizziGUEST
There must be an EU able to attract talents from the United States, from the Asian countries, from all over the world, because the European Union, with our research system, with our excellent universities, should be the best place in order to advance scientific leadership, startup innovation and research.

Matteo BrizziGUEST
Also, in this side, the European Union should not defend itself, should not strive to, let's say, defend European researchers from global competition, but should actually attack and should try to make the EU the best continent in order to make research.

Matteo BrizziGUEST
In this sense, at the same time, you were asking, Theo, on a national level, also, for instance, speaking about Italy, Italy should not only preserve Italian researchers, but also try to be internationally attractive.

Matteo BrizziGUEST
that's the key aspect that at the same time will make also for Italian researchers the universities attractive and also it's a matter as Chris was saying of salaries as well because it's not possible it's not possible that an Italian researcher is paid 1k and a Finnish one is paid 3k

So I think it's a good way to communicate that this is actually a way to get something out of the EU.
