Making Europe a Global Magnet for International Students

The Project

The funding provided through this grant is intended to provide essential support for preparing a bid to the Horizon Europe call for research on ‘Making Europe a global magnet for talent’. The Horizon project will generate new knowledge about how international students from outside the European Union (EU) can be attracted to study in the EU and subsequently retained to contribute to its innovation capacity. The grant will enable close collaboration across the partner institutions, facilitating further work on the design of the research activities and ensuring close alignment with EU policy priorities on talent attraction and retention. It will also fund a research assistant and administrative support to coordinate proposal preparation and partnership engagement.
