Purpose of the Conference
(E) migrations have taken a central stage in the debate on public policies in Europe today. Although some evidence of a positive economic, social, and cultural impact of migrations on receiving countries have been found, the impact on countries of origin remains unclear. By sharing ideas and experiences through critical thinking, the 6 th International Scientific Conference ICEI 2019 aims to provide answers on how to improve competitiveness by overcoming negative trends of (e)migrations in terms of:
- enhancing institutions and policies to create an environment that motivates people to stay in the country and attract qualified workers from other countries;
- promoting usage of remittances for investment rather than spending;
- mitigation of negative fiscal impacts;
- creating favorable and more efficient business environment in the national and regional context;
- maintaining economic stability and boosting job creation;
- increasing the quality of the existing workforce by modernizing education;
- building the capacity for innovation through strengthening university- industry cooperation in R&D and innovation, etc.
