Abstract

We find that 65 per cent of the respondents in the non-university research institutes sector have been internationally mobile at least once during the course of their research career (either international job mobility or international research visits lasting three months or more). The propensity to be mobile in this sample is higher than that found for the higher education sector, though we must stress again that the sample of researchers is not representative in the statistical sense.We find that 35 per cent of all our respondents from the research institutes sector have been internationally mobile in the last three years. This once more suggests a higher propensity to mobility than we find in the HEI sector (with the proviso again that the present sample cannot be regarded as statistically representative).As in the higher education sector, previous experience of international mobility as a student seems to be a major factor in influencing subsequent mobility as a researcher.
