Abstract

This research emphasizes the analysis of migration phenomenon, how to perceive migration and the opportunity to study abroad, from the perspective of students and highly qualified human resources, which can be achieved through the study programs such as ERASMUS + and EEA. Considering that the loss of intellectual capital, called "brain drain" in Eastern European countries is accentuated given that study programs offer opportunities for students to educate and improve in conditions with modern technologies, which the country of origin cannot offer, we can consider that the international study programs offers new, unique experiences and opportunities.
