The article is devoted to the opportunities and the constraints of the quantitative approach in studying migrant integration in Poland. It is argued that taking into account the specific character of the inflow of foreigners to Poland, the small number of migrants and temporariness of mobility, some special methodological solutions are needed, regarding mainly the sampling procedures. At the same time, it is claimed that the representativeness of the results should be targeted. Taking into account the existing limitations, the article recommends first of all quantitative studies of selected groups of migrants and areas where they are present. The methodological reflections demonstrated in the article are based on two quantitative research projects conducted by the Centre of Migration Research, University of Warsaw.

Academic international mobility is a long-lasting phenomenon and important aim of public policies in numerous countries. Scholarly debate usually concentrates on Western countries and some Eastern Asian scientific hubs like Singapore. Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is understudied. In Poland, the largest CEE country, unlike in many Western countries, public policies concerning internationalization of the academic field are still under construction. Nevertheless, there is a strong pressure for internationalization. The Polish case to be discussed in this article can serve as an example of academic migration to less economically privileged regions that are usually countries of emigration of scholars rather than immigration. In this paper, by means of qualitative in-depth interviews, we concentrate on the need to invite academics from abroad and the perceptions of the actual presence of foreign scholars, employed full-time, as seen by their Polish supervisors. Geographical focus of this paper (CEE) and adopted perspective (interviews with heads of departments supported by interviews with academics) bridge the gap in the literature on academic mobility.
