immigration

Despite alignment with EU’s strategies, disparities persist, because integration of international PhDs into the domestic labor market involves not only research and development but also migration policies.

Countries take a variety of approaches to their international students who graduate locally and seek to stay. While some offer significant time horizons to search for and acquire a job, or eliminate needed sponsorship altogether, not all are as generous.

Contrary to some claims, the vast majority of these students choose to stay in the United States after graduation. This ability to attract and retain top talent gives the United States a significant advantage.
