The President of Kharazmi University, while discussing the serious challenges of brain drain from the country, emphasized that this process is not limited to physical migration. He said: "The brain drain does not mean a flight of brains, but includes various dimensions such as the transfer of knowledge and experiences to other countries."
Various Dimensions of Brain Drain
According to the President of Kharazmi University, one important dimension of brain drain is the publication of articles and scientific research linked to foreign institutions. This indicates that Iranian elites are currently acting not only as physical migrants but also as scientific influencers on a global scale. He added: "Our elites are creating scientific and research networks abroad that can lead to the exchange of knowledge and experiences."
Social and Economic Consequences
The President of Kharazmi University also referred to the social and economic consequences of brain drain, stating: "This phenomenon can lead to a reduction in the scientific and research capacities of the country and ultimately result in serious damage to the scientific development of the country." He added that appropriate policies must be adopted to support elites and prevent their departure. According to him, creating suitable job opportunities and facilitating working conditions for elites within the country is one of the effective solutions in this regard.
The President of Kharazmi University also highlighted the importance of the return of elites to the country, saying: "Elites who return to their homeland can act as a bridge between universities and research centers in the country and international scientific institutions. This return can help transfer knowledge and technology to the country and lead to scientific and economic progress in Iran."
In conclusion, he emphasized that we must trust the elites and create a suitable environment for their activities so that we can witness the growth and flourishing of science and knowledge in the country.
