The Research and Innovation Careers Observatory (ReICO) project provides internationally comparable indicators on R&I talent to support evidence-based policymaking and research. This database compiles and analyses information from multiple sources to monitor trends in research and innovation careers, employment conditions, and mobility patterns. 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.
