Greece’s scientist return push stalls after program fiasco
An ambitious Greek effort to reverse the brain drain triggered by the financial crisis has stalled after the program fell into disarray.
Greece’s effort to attract top scientists back to the country after the trauma of the financial crisis has run into serious trouble. An ambitious initiative created to reverse the brain drain has stalled and is now described as a fiasco.
The program was intended to help bring skilled researchers home, but it has failed to maintain momentum. Its collapse leaves the goal of reversing post-crisis emigration of scientific talent unmet.
The setback underscores the broader challenges Greece still faces in rebuilding its skilled workforce after the financial crisis.
