"We argue that science policies emphasising the advanced qualification of human resources, together with institutional capacity building and the internationalisation of the science base, can help create the necessary conditions driving brain gain over time in many of those regions.
Our evidence comes from a new set of data and analysis of the flux of doctorates in Portugal over the period 1970-2010, based on nominal data. It shows a positive flow of doctorates in Portugal in 2010 (that is, a ‘brain gain’ in the technical literature), after four decades of consecutive lagging behind in terms of scientific capacity.
Out of a total of 19,876 PhD holders who completed their PhD at a Portuguese university, only 669 (or 3.4%) were found to be working abroad, while 1,836 foreign PhDs were working in Portugal, of whom 83% were engaged in R&D activities. "
