Abstract

No hay duda acerca de la importancia que la ciencia tiene en la consecución de los resultados económicos, los niveles de bienestar, la capacidad de crecimiento y los procesos de innovación. Los sistemas de ciencia y tecnología están modificando su definición tradicional hacia otras alternativas más abiertas donde la conexión internacional y los procesos de movilidad se encuentran en el núcleo de la generación del conocimiento. En este contexto, las políticas destinadas a la movilidad de los investigadores son un elemento cada vez más importante dentro de la ciencia, la tecnología y de las políticas de innovación. De acuerdo con los anteriores argumentos, el objetivo de la ponencia es analizar los determinantes de las decisiones de movilidad internacional emprendidas por los doctores españoles así como de su intensidad. Para ello, se utilizan datos originarios de la Encuesta de Recursos Humanos en Ciencia y Tecnología (ERHCT-2006). Los resultados alcanzados permiten afirmar que la movilidad hacia el extranjero parece ser un requisito previo al inicio de la carrera académica más que una consecuencia de su desarrollo. En segundo lugar, la movilidad se relaciona especialmente con el hecho de trabajar en la Educación Superior. En tercer lugar, se observa una relación negativa importante entre la intensidad de la movilidad hacia el extranjero y el tiempo transcurrido desde la finalización del doctorado y la primera estancia internacional. Por último, el género presenta diferencias importantes en las decisiones de movilidad internacional de los doctores españoles y algo menores en relación a la intensidad de la misma.
