  Brain Gain
 

The Brain Gain initiative aims to gather the knowledge transfer (academic studies, research, articles and more) and have a monitoring system in place that will allow these studies to be passed on to relevant bodies that can benefit from the brain gain. An academic research for example that consists of Agricultural Development of Rural Albania will be passed on to relevant Agricultural institutions and the impact of that work will be monitored closely so the studies can be fully valued and closely examined.

International Mobility of Talent
The main push factor of the Albanian emigration has normally been to seek higher-paid employment and in turn to support the family income and achieve better living standards. In many cases the Albanian emigrants (as it is the case with most of the economic emigrants) initially have experienced low-paid jobs and through years have acquired resourceful skills and sought studying opportunities which have helped them climb the career ladder and have become successful business leaders, managers, solicitors, barristers, teachers, media experts, social workers, psychologists, engineers, artists, IT professionals, doctors and more. Hence, once the emigration experience has been achieved successfully or shall we say once the basic needs and aims are fulfilled they are very likely to be willing to share or contribute with their knowledge and talents as their understanding and confidence in the given area has broadened. However, individual emigrants often face difficulties to find a platform for such practice. This is on of the areas Globalb plans to provide, a platform for the mobility of talents. In doing so Globalb intends to gather a database of Albanian emigrants around the world, which should facilitate the mobility of talents in Diaspora and home countries. This initiative will rely heavily on the participation and active will of emigrants and non-emigrant talents to contribute and cooperate at their will and availability. Globalb’s responsibility will be to identify talents and assist the mobility process through promoting job opportunities in Diaspora and home countries that can be open to the Albanian Diaspora as well as promote Talent Exchange workshops or training sessions.

Diaspora Knowledge Network
One of the main aims of Globalb will be to identify the different resources that the Albanian Diaspora has to offer and this will be done through promotion of Globalb in Diaspora, linking and cooperating with existing organisations in Diaspora and cooperating with governmental institutions and established international institutions in Albanian countries. The establishment of these links and data will then lead to the provision of a central Knowledge Diaspora Network that will provide a platform for knowledge exchange.

Knowledge Transfer
Knowledge transfer initiative aims to initiate a platform where gained knowledge or acquired skills can be better put to use for both the Albanian Diaspora and Albanian nationals at home countries. An on-line discussion forum for specific knowledge areas will be established where completed academic research can be exchanged. Many Albanian students have undertaken academic research that in many cases is lying on dusted shelves without any notice. This valuable work can be used to update existing knowledge that can direct policy making or academic discussions.
