Résumé : Cette table ronde propose de repenser les mobilités étudiantes et scientifiques contemporaines à l’aune de deux dynamiques
- L’intérêt croissant de certains pays de destination d’attirer des étudiants et des scientifiques étrangers dans le contexte actuel de la globalisation
- Les reconfigurations des conditions structurelles dans les pays d’origine des étudiants/scientifiques mobiles (augmentation de l’offre de formation supérieure, programmes transnationaux, développement de nouveaux pôles de formation, changements dans les caractéristiques du marché du travail hautement qualifié…)
Elites’ mobility is not a new phenomenon. Indeed, during the last decades of the XIX century, several universities proposed scholarships to some of their students to do their thesis abroad. Private foundations also favored these initiatives, a phenomenon that grew in the inter-war period. At a glance, looking into certain disciplines, their circulations and promoters today, contributes to better understand the evolution of university’s landscape and the appeal that is at stake in Europe and the United States in this period.
This round table aims at analysing contemporary student and scientific mobilities in the light of two dynamics:
- The attractiveness of certain destination countries for foreign students and academics in the current context of globalization
- Reconfiguration of the structural conditions in the countries of origin of mobile students / academics (increase in the supply of higher education, transnational programs, development of new training centers, changes in the characteristics of the highly skilled market, etc.)
