Talent Mobility for Innovation & Growth: Case of Shanghai

States worldwide compete in an intensifying race for talent, mainly for professionals in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). This project investigates how government and industry actors at the level of technology clusters (Shanghai) are able to use existing regulatory frameworks to attract and retain global STEM talent. Although China has relied on ethnic returnees since 1978, several recent initiatives have demonstrated the growing importance of global talent for China, and an increasing dependence on these individuals for the future. This project will provide much needed research insights into the recruitment and retention of global STEM talent in the case of Shanghai, a main center of innovation and a hub of foreign activity, to enhance existing mechanisms to assess and define this process.
During a three month research stay, the applicant will be based at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences (SASS). TO BE CONT’D
