The database is distinguished into three themes: R&I Talent development, R&I Labour market and R&I talent circulation. The R&I Talent circulation theme covers indicators for monitoring trends in the mobility of R&I talent across countries. Indicators on other two themes are available in the links below. Please consult the methodology document when using the database.
