Annex A: Policy approaches, by country


This annex summarises the information provided by countries in response to the OECD Questionnaire on the International Mobility of Researchers. This information was used to create the summary tables in Chapter 4 of the OECD publication The Global Competition for Talent. For Tables 4.2 and 4.6, the Secretariat attempted to categorise policies for presentational and comparative purposes. The categories were as follows:
Table 4.2: Economic Incentives for inflows of HRST:
•
Fellowships (F)
•
Grants and project funding (G)
•
Scholarships and allowances (S)
•
Tax benefits and subsidies (T)
•
Other (O)
Table 4.6: Policies to facilitate research abroad (outflows of HRST)
•
Research grants and scholarships (G)
•
Fellowships (F)
•
Travel and living support (T)
•
Exchange programmes (E)
•
Other (O)
These categories are specified next to the policies in the text. For example, under Economic Incentives, Australia’s ARC Federation Fellowships are categorised (F). This categorisation is matched by one tick in the Fellowships box.
