Join us tomorrow @ 6pm NovaSBE Library for a talk on

Migrant Integration in Lisbon and Development in Africa

Free admission to all.

One of few Brexit silver linings has been the rise in non-EU migration

That can be win-win: the rise in migration of nurses from Nigeria to the UK has been swiftly followed by an increase in Nigerians taking & passing the nursing exam

New blog: cgdev.org/blog/uk-recrui…

Nigeria is now the second-largest source of health and care migrants to the UK 🇳🇬🇬🇧 What impact has this increase had on nursing enrolments back home?

✍️ New Center for Global Development blog by Lee Crawfurd + I looks at the dynamics of 'brain gain' from nurse migration.

I was happy to contribute to the end-of-year issue of exame, emphasizing the need for Portugal to actively invest in attracting and supporting high-skilled immigration.

The country needs to attract more brains to push innovation and growth for all.
