EMN Inform explores new and innovative ways to attract foreign talents in the EU

28.02.2025

This EMN inform provides an overview of new and innovative initiatives by EMN Member Countries and selected OECD countries to attract foreign talent from January 2021 to March 2024. It explores practical programs and projects, rather than legal frameworks, including EU-funded initiatives like those under the Talent Partnerships framework. The inform also examines how these countries monitor the effectiveness of these initiatives, identifying challenges and good practices.

The analysis, based on contributions from 21 EMN Member Countries and the OECD, focuses on two groups of foreign talent: highly skilled third-country nationals and those working in high value-added sectors.
