Success Factors in the Cross-Border Region – Regional Project Again Brain Drain

To be a competitive settlement or region is the largest challenge for the political elite in our days. It is especially right in the border area which is often called as "periphery of peripheries" because of the long distance from the economic-cultural centres, the lack of workplaces, and the failed development in the last decades. To arrange a high standard of quality of life people who had chances moved to bigger cities or the parents suggested their children to try getting on in life better than they and studying and not moving back. After all nowadays the development of the economic-social development of the borderland comes to the front. It based on the innovation of the endogen sources in order to take comparative advantages of the local givens. In this paper we present a research aimed to reveal the potential co-operation fields in a trans-border region and find the relation between the identified co-operation fields and the regional success factors. We introduce a cross-border project which focused on the “brain drain” process and aimed to give a chance for young, well-educated people in the border area to gain competitive knowledge which makes possible to create new jobs for themselves and for the population in their region as well.
