Studiranje u inostranstvu i povratak u Srbiju

Abstract

Svrha studije je pregled i analiza problema i izazova sa kojima se suočavaju mladi istraživači prilikom odlaska na studije u inostranstvo i povratka u Srbiju. Studija je zasnovana na analizi sekundarnih podataka, strateškog i zakonodavnog okvira, te fokus-grupnog intervjua sa 20 mladih istraživača i diskusije tokom okruglog stola o položaju mladih istraživača u društvenim naukama. Nalazi studije ukazuju da su u Srbiji studenti često prinuđeni na mobilnost, usled niskog stepena ulaganja u naučno istraživačku delatnost i nemogućnosti usavršavanja na domaćim ustanovama. Želja za odlaskom kod mladih istraživača je veoma izražena, naročito usled loših socio-ekonomskih uslova i slabih mogućnosti za zapošljavanje i/ili napredovanje. Mladi se vraćaju u zemlju uglavnom kada moraju, zbog isticanja vize i perioda legalnog boravka u drugoj zemlji, kao i nemogućnosti pronalaska stalnog posla u inostranstvu Studija obrađuje i problem nostrifikacije diploma, koji je predstavljao veliku prepreku mladim istraživačima povratnicima. Takođe, daje se osvrt na faktore koje mlade istraživače opredeljuju na ostanak u Srbiji, gde se najviše ističu stipendije i pronalazak posla.

The purpose of the study is to review and analyse the problems and challenges that young researchers face when going abroad to study and upon their return to Serbia. The study is based on secondary data analysis, analysis of the strategic and legislative framework, focus-group interviews with 20 young researchers and discussions during the round table on the position of young researchers in the social sciences. The findings indicate that students from Serbia are often forced to mobility, due to low level of investment in scientific research activities and training inability at domestic institutions. The desire to leave is very strong, especially due to poor socio-economic conditions and poor employment opportunities and/or the chances for professional development. Young people return to the country mainly when they have to, due to visa expiry and the inability to find a permanent job abroad. The study analyses the problem of degree recognition, which has been a major obstacle to young returnees so far. It also gives an overview on the factors that motivate the young researchers to stay in Serbia, where scholarships and finding a job are definitely the most prominent.
