Introduction
• Material is taken from INTERREG IVC Brain flow mini program subproject Button
• Thematic of the project and whole mini-program.
• Flows of brains are natural phenomenon with positive and negative consequences depending on the perspective
• Defining a problem is not solving it.

Regions
Detmold (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany)Hedmark (Norway)Navarra (Spain)Twente (Overijssel, Netherlands) Arnhem-Nijmegen (Gelderland Netherlands)Nordwestschweiz/ Basel (Switzerland).

How and why can we categorize ‘brain flow’ as a problem in a specific region?’
- What are the flows?
- What are the brains that flows?
- What area the consequences?
- What are the causes?
![Page 5: Understanding ‘brain flows’ as different problems in regions. Frans Coenen University of Twente Arnoud Lagendijk Radboud University Nijmegen Alexandra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27454/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What are the flows?
• Brain drain • (Brain drain retention)• Brain attraction• Brain circulation• Brain gain

What are the ‘brains’ that flow?
Three perspectives:
•Finished education level
•Skills needed in the region
•Contribution to economic welfare

Problem perception: social, economic and environmental consequences of
brain flow1. As a demographic problem; brain drain leads to depopulation or
disturbance of demographic structure (because the young educated go),
2. As a labour market demand problem of job fulfilment, a negative balance of graduates; people leave that are needed in the region;
3. As a shortage of human capital problem, operationalized as the percentage of high educated persons in the population. which has consequences for the social and economic development of a region
4. As a fiscal problem, as invested government money in education is lost

Causes of brain flows; push and pull factors
• Clustering of economic activities
• Employment and career possibilities• Settlement factors • Relative independent occurrences

Human capital

Human capital needed

Ideal-typical categories
• Classical brain drain region• Shortage region• Brain attraction region• Commuter region
![Page 14: Understanding ‘brain flows’ as different problems in regions. Frans Coenen University of Twente Arnoud Lagendijk Radboud University Nijmegen Alexandra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27454/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Use and problems
• No ‘one size fit all solutions’ (f.i. founding an university)
• Potential measures are linked with causes and consequences
• Not all factors are manipulable• We are not sure about mechanisms (for instance
jobs follow people)• Time dimension
