Organizer: National Contact Point Austria
12 June 2019, Vienna (Austria)
The immigration of international students from third countries to the EU has steadily increased in recent years. While the priority of attracting and retaining international students in each EU Member State has varied widely, the challenges seem to be similar in many cases. On the occasion of the publication of the EMN-study “Attracting and Retaining International Students” the National Contact Point Austria in the EMN invited to an expert discussion in the framework of the event series “EU Migration Talks”. During the event both national as well as synthesized European wide results of the study were presented. Together with the experts who contributed to the national report of this study, we discussed the situation in Austria and compared it with Germany and the Netherlands.
“EU Migration Talks” is an event series organized by the National Contact Point Austria in the EMN. Based on the findings of recent EMN-studies, EU Migration Talks provide the framework to discuss migration-related topics.
