This paper discusses the expanding phenomenon of international mobility to the rural areas of Europe. First it extends the theoretical discussion of international mobility to rural regions and presents comparatively the ‘northern’ and ‘southern’ European models of migration as well as the implications of these migration flows upon the rural areas of Europe. The paper moves to the case of Greece presenting research results related to the implications of the migratory phenomenon upon the rural economy and society and to the issues of migrant mobility and integration. Finally, the paper projects the implications of the present economic crisis upon the migrant populations and their countries of origin and raises issues of policy to counter depopulation trends and to support rural sustainability.

This study deals with issues of global talent management. Its content presents the challenges facing international corporations due to lack of talents as well as the growing interest of corporations in this pool of employees. The purpose of this article is to show the interdependence of both phenomena—i.e. global talent management (GTM) and assigned expatriation. The key assumption is to connect successive stages of expatriation (i.e. preparation, foreign stay, repatriation) with the talent management cycle (acquiring talents and their deployment, development, and retention) and indicating specific personnel actions improving the management of international talents. It should be emphasized that in this study talent management refers to employees of international corporations. There are no issues related to “talents” in other entities and organizations.

Niniejsze opracowanie traktuje o problematyce globalnego zarządzania talentami. W treści przedstawiono wyzwania stawiane międzynarodowym korporacjom w związku z niedoborem talentów, a także rosnącym zainteresowaniem korporacji tą pulą pracowników. Celem tego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie współzależności obu zjawisk, tj. globalnego zarządzania talentami (GTM) i ekspatriacji tradycyjnej. Kluczowym założeniem jest powiązanie kolejnych etapów ekspatriacji (tj. preparacji, pobytu zagranicznego, repatriacji) z cyklem zarządzania talentami (pozyskaniem talentów, ich rozmieszczeniem, rozwojem oraz zatrzymaniem) i wskazaniem konkretnych działań personalnych usprawniających zarządzanie międzynarodowymi talentami. Należy podkreślić, iż w tym opracowaniu zarządzanie talentami odnosi się do pracowników korporacji międzynarodowych, nie podejmowane są kwestie związane z „talentami” w innych podmiotach i organizacjach.

Due to the internationalization of Polish enterprises, it is appropriate to look at the tendency of managers to take up business and compete in the global labor market. The purpose of this article that is of theoretical and empirical character, is, therefore, an attempt to evaluate the mobility of Polish managers, or their willingness to change their place of work outside the home country. The matrix is a theoretical discussion of the importance of mobility for today’s corporations. Empiricism refers to the author’s own research (these are telephone interviews with 15 managers and two expert opinions) carried out for such this article, and also presented the results of the exploration of other researchers addressing these topics.

The article applies representations of mobility and immobility in Miasto Archipelag written by Filip Springer. The book is record of a reporter’s trip to the polish former provincial cities. The issue of displacement is considered in three perspectives: move as a narrative dominant; as deterritorialization and reterritorialization of place and as domain of urban activity.

The aim of the paper is to examine the complicated relations between perception in travel, connected with mobility, and media. Travel, is seen here as multidimensional perceptual situation, which is not far from the perceptual experiences connected with the participation in social media and with the reception of mass media. Our perceptual modes of media activity have in fact the strong impact on the ways we see the surrounding while traveling. The dominating oculocentric paradigm of perception, characteristic for Western culture, is in new media strengthened by the experience of tactility and is transforming in travel into the experience which is multisensorial in a deep sense.

The migrations of peasants to Polish towns, which are considered inside migrations, in the pre-industrial era were intensive and similar to the ones in the countries of Western Europe. The sources prove the existence of permanent multi-generational migration networks that ensured a better start of a new life in towns for peasants, and an input of reliable workforce for towns. The migration processes slowed down in the 18th century, which was the result of the intensification of secondary serfdom, closing of villages, an economic decline of Polish towns at the expense of the gentry and an overall economic depression. All that is clearly visible in Cracow, where all the municipal registers and a significant part of birth and death certificates have survived. It turns out that towns influenced the increase of peasant territorial and spatial mobility, generated an increase of peasants’ enterprise, helped them to differentiate towards activities not related to agriculture, and weakened the feudal relations.

Introduction. Rapid inhabitant mobility and migration to European and other countries in the world as well as in the territory of Latvia goes on since Latvia has become the member of the European Union. There are several possible reasons for that: economic crisis in the country, low salaries in the social state sector, individual strivings and aspirations of every person to achieve self-realization. Many children become parentless as parents go to different countries. A part of Latvia's inhabitants come back but a part of them continue to live abroad. This was the reason for choosing the topic to study.The Aim of the Study. To investigate circumstances why inhabitants of Latvia leave their country and what the civic understanding of the Latvian young people, who study in tertiary institutions, is as regards the mobility and migration to a different society.Materials and Methods. European project Multiple Choice Identity: Materials of Mobility and Migration. Statistical data and analysis and research about migration. Interviewing students in an empiric investigation; interviewing people who have emigrated to England.Results. Mobility and migration have positive and negative economical and demographic consequences; it is important for every nation to preserve its cultural identity. Particular interest is paid to immigrants' integration in the cultural environment of Latvia.Conclusions. Positive changes in economic life, positive understanding in the mass media and study curricula are needed as they would promote formation of a positive understanding of the mobility and migration in multi-dimensional society nowadays.

Mobility is one of the most important factors to be considered in planning transport development. Mobility needs and patterns determine the use of transport means and infrastructure, therefore the scope of investment in new infrastructure or decisions to modernize already existing infrastructure elements should always be backed by a proper mobility analysis. The paper is devoted to the phenomenon of ‘white elephants’ in air transport, i. e. expensive to build as well as to maintain and at the same time useless airports. The decision to build such airports is not justified by a reliable socio-economic analysis but usually is a result of overgrown ambitions of the investor. Inherent characteristics of such investments is high capital intensity, overestimation of future usage, many deficiencies and low-quality solutions. The analysis of the ‘white elephants’ phenomenon is important not only because such investments lead to economic inefficiencies but also this wrong allocation may result in an excessive infrastructure supply in some areas while other remain underinvested, which may lead to a suboptimal development of mobility and may also skew mobility patterns.

The article focuses on the phenomenon of the mobility, isolation, and differentiation of the emigrant groups or mobile workers, whose status is being regulated by the European law and the internal law of the acquiring country. The example chosen for analysis is the Netherlands. Different categories of Dutch immigrants, solutions used on the Dutch labor market, and elements of the political discourse oriented around this issue have all been presented here. The factors which influence the observable differentiation are: history (migration from the former colonial countries), open European market (migration in order to find work, including the increasing percentage of Polish employees), and the international industrial space. This means that expatriates are a special group among the mobile workers (these are highly qualified workers of the international corporations or institutions not connected with the industry). From the Dutch point of view, finding an efficient and acceptable adaptation policy, which will be beneficial for every social group coexisting in this country is an important challenge.

The ageing of the population will change many societies in unprecedented ways. The changing age composition does not only create a burden on existing income systems and health care systems, but also affects the geographical mobility of populations. The objective of this paper is to provide some first insights into the moving behaviour of older adults in the Netherlands. By using data of the Housing Research Netherlands (HRN) 2009 survey, it was possible to investigate whether or not later-life residential mobility is influenced by individual characteristics and housing attributes. The responses of migrants and non-migrants are compared by conducting several two-way-chi-square analyses. The results of these descriptive analyses demonstrate that migrants indeed differ from non-migrants and that these differences are mostly related to housing attributes.

The article presents a forecast of changes in the level of transport accessibility and mobility in Poland as a result of the anticipated development of the network of expressways and motorways. The progress which has been made in this respect in the last few years in Poland is unquestionable and unrepeatable by any other European country. Will the subsequent investment plans concerning the road network of the highest parameters offer equally impressive results as far as the increase in Poland’s territorial cohesion is concerned? The aim of this article is to establish in what way the planned infrastructure investments will affect the changes in transport accessibility and mobility as well as whether they will result in the changes in traffic flows directed to Warsaw and other regional centres. To achieve this, an analysis of the present and target state of the road network in Poland was conducted from the perspective of changes in accessibility, anticipated traffic flows, and mobility. For this purpose the authors used the analyses of isochrone and accumulative accessibility in ArcMap environment and research into traffic flows and their changes in the Visum software. The conducted research showed that the planned transport network might result in induced traffic through a increase in accessibility (the central variant) with the assumption that an increase in mobility would be vented in the real face of the phenomenon of motility. The fact of opening new road sections of expressways will contribute to substantial changes in the directions of traffic flows only to a slight extent, and the only transformations concern regions with already developed fast car transport infrastructure whose functionality is limited due to the lack of its cohesion in the subsequent course or lack of a developed network of expressways and motorways.

This article examines diverse travel narratives about steamship voyages to Asia in the first two decades after the opening of the Suez Canal, with special focus on journeys through the Suez Canal, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean. Sources include Polish, Serbian and Russian authors: Julian Fałat, Vlado Ivelić, Lucjan Jurkiewicz, Milan Jovanović, Vsevolod Krestovskiy, Karol Lanckoroński, Bronisław Piłsudski, Paweł Sapieha, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Ivan Yuvachev, Hugo Zapałowicz, and Ivan Zarubin. Given this variety of sources, consisting of 12 accounts in 3 languages, written by different types of travellers with dissimilar social backgrounds, it is possible to demonstrate a variety of phenomena that may be associated with steamship voyages. The two main issues examined here are: 1) the coexistence of multiple mobilities in the era of steam power, 2) different experiences of time while voyaging.

Even though the discrimination against women in science have been studied for at least half of the century and any many actions have been taken to promote careers of female researchers, their chances are still far from equal. Many barriers have disappeared, but increasingly precarious model of academic career makes it more difficult for women. The interviews conducted with laureates of prestigious competitions by the Foundation for Polish Science allowed for analysis of what Polish researchers think about the role of gender and parenthood in academic career. The have also served to identify factors that were crucial – according to the interviewed female scientists – for their success in science. As the interviews indicate, the requirements od academic career are the same in case of both: men and women, which could suggest lack of discrimination. On the other hand, the expectation that women will be able to meet the criteria set up by male experiences does not mean equal playing field. To assess real chances for academic success, other non-academic aspects of researchers’ life need to be taken into consideration, especially their limitations for dedicating time to research and for mobility. Young researchers – men as well as women – experience increasing uncertainty in regard to their academic future. Growing competition for employment and research funding, makes it much more difficult for women to fulfil the expectations of a fast-track, mobile career. The interviews formed the basis for identification of support mechanisms in this respect.

Polish Scientific Networks: Science and Business conference was held on 30 June – 2 July 2016 in EIT+ Wroclaw Research Centre. Its main aim was to facilitate networking between young Polish researchers working in Poland and abroad, both in academia and in industry. The article focuses on one of the many subjects brought up during the conference panel discussions, i.e. on different ways of increasing the social capital in Poland in order to enhance successful collaborations between science and industry. I discuss the role of education and international  and intersectoral mobility in changing people’s mindset: teaching them mutual trust and opening them for challenge.

Modern global processes are stated to have significantly influenced transformations in the higher education system. On the other hand, internationalisation of higher education has become a key factor in the development of global processes. Accordingly, it becomes necessary to determine the specific nature of the internationalisation processes of higher education in different countries, as well as the involvement thereof in the processes of academic mobility at establishing the educational space transformation under the conditions of globalization, at grounding the changing place and role of universities as higher education internationalisation contribute to enhancing the convergence of national educational systems, providing a significant influence on the level of competitiveness of national economies. The authors define the peculiarities of attracting countries to mobility processes and systematise the waves of international student mobility, taking into account the geopolitical and geo-economic factors of positive and negative influence of institutional drivers. Furthermore, dynamic shifts in international student mobility are calculated and the regional distribution of foreign students by educational level is determined. The purpose of the article is to identify the waves and substantiate the factors of international student mobility in the context of the transformation of the global market of educational services.
