6. Researcher Mobility: WP7 SISOB Kick-off Meeting

7. WP7 • Task 7.1. Review of the existing literature and identification of data sources: • 7.1.1 Produce a thorough review of previous research on the impact of mobility on research productivity, career, knowledge diffusion, etc. • Conceptualization: still underdeveloped; • Unresolved issue: causality between mobility and productivity / career; • Data availability: poor • D7.1 first draft M8 final draft N20 Lead FR with contribution of all partners (creation of a common repository for the literature)

8. WP 7 – 7.1 • 7.1.2 Assessment of availability of researcher CV DB (Raimondo will gather all the info from the partners on available DBs – look at previous projects EUROCV, ENID) • 7.1.3 Obtain access to new CV DB: • Italy MIUR 65000 university staff central DB • Germany ? • Regione Piemonte • University of Torino • EC access to Marie Curie data (with follow up survey)

9. WP 7 – 7.1 • 7.1.4 Web crawling on UK university sites to find CVs • M8 assessment of available data and their quality, report part of D 7.1. first draft M8 final draft N20 Lead FR with contribution of all partners. SISOB Kick-off Meeting

10. WP7 • Task 7.2. Data collection and specification of needs for the construction of mobility indicators • Interaction with WP 2 and WP 3: data collection, web crawling, data mining, matching CV info to WoS/Scholar/Scopus and other sources of info.

11. WP7 – 7.2 • Following indicators will be built: • Output indicators (pubs, cit, downloads, etc…) • Temporary mobility indicators (postdoc, sabatical, temporary leave, secondment, etc.); how long? • Change of job mobility (to other univ –high v lower rank- to PROs to business); • Career reconstruction; • Social capital before after mobility (SNA as dependent var). • Conceptual lead FR (RICYT, MTA), contribution from all the technical partners. SISOB Kick-off Meeting

12. WP7 • Task 7.3: effects of researchers’ mobility on researchers´ trajectories • We plan to study the effect of mobility on career trajectory: • Promotion: assistant prof to associate to full prof; • Tenure • Mobility to a lower rank institution (in higher position) • Mobility to an higher rank institution at the same position • ……… any other possible combination of the above SISOB Kick-off Meeting

13. WP7 – 7.3 • Case study of the UK: (1) clear and stable career ladder; (2) previous work on list of academic positions / univ and dep names; (3) RAE based ranking of department since 1986 (pus other rankings); availability of good department/uni level info for a panel of more than 100 uni for 18 years; etc… • Contribution of UMA / MTA ? • Report by Geuna and Meissner (Stephan?), part of D7.3 (NOTE: change of focus in the title of the deliverable); first draft M18 final M28. SISOB Kick-off Meeting

14. WP7 Task 7.4: effects of researchers’ mobility in terms of scientific productivity • Econometric modelling will be used on panel data (built on the basis of the career of the researcher for her university degree onward) taking into account the endogeneity problem. • Data on more countries depending on the success of the extraction and matching of info from CVs by previous WPs. SISOB Kick-off Meeting

15. WP7 – 7.4 D7.2 report by Geuna, Meissner, Stephan, M18 first draft M24 final Contribution by RICYT? We could be interested to study mobility of doc / post doc from Argentina to UK / US …… May be better to have RICYT more involved in 7.5 see following slide? SISOB Kick-off Meeting

16. WP7 Task 7.5 effects of researchers’ mobility on the development of disciplinary fields • We do not intend to work much on this task given the fact that the researcher that was mainly interested has moved partially away; • Will MTA be responsible for this task? Will UMA contribute? Can RICYT do more on this task? • Deliverable part of D7.3 (NOTE: change of focus in the title of the deliverable); first draft M18 final M28. SISOB Kick-off Meeting

17. WP7 • Task 7.6 Best practices and recommendations about mobility for the evolution of scientific communities • What do we want to say on evolution of scientific communities, not clear (who is going to be responsible for? RICYT?); • We could contribute with a change of focus, for example SISOB Kick-off Meeting

18. WP7 – 7.6 • We can try to produce policy relevant and best practice conclusions on: • the length of mobility (postdoc or sabatic); • Is mobility to business good or bed and for what; • comparative analysis of national regulation on academic mobility to identify best practice (I, UK, D, S, H, Sw, Arg); • Externalities (peer effects) of mobility on local academic community; SISOB Kick-off Meeting

19. WP7 – 7.6 • We do not have a proper deliverable, of it was the D7.3 but need change of title. M20 first draft, M28 final. • Important involvement of different partners how is going to be managed? SISOB Kick-off Meeting
