On 19-20 March 2015, the Latvian Contact Point of the EMN, under the auspices of the Latvian Presidency of the European Council, organizes the EMN Conference on "Attracting and Retaining Talent in Europe".
The Conference will address issues such as: the global challenge and the competition for talent, whether the EU is ready to attract talent vis-à-vis its main competitors, the specific EU and national practices in place for attracting talent to the EU, how EU Member States retain the talent they have succeeded in attracting, the importance of developing a ‘welcome’ culture plus a discussion on what’s in it for the talented migrants themselves and their countries of origin.
During the Conference, the findings of the EMN Study 2013 on Attracting Highly Qualified and Qualified Third-Country Nationals to the EU and the findings of the EMN Study 2014 on Admitting Third-Country Nationals for business purposes will be presented and discussed.
