Keywords:
Europe 2020, education, internationalisation, employment, brain drain, RomaniaAbstract
In this article, we analyse the response that education strategies and student mobility programmes can offer to the requirements of the Europe 2020 strategy. The main aspects brought forward are the current results obtained in the domains of education and employment, the outcomes of the mobility programmes and the issue of brain drain, with particular emphasis placed on Romania’s situation from these perspectives.
