The Irish Students Abroad
An article in yesterday's Irish Independent reports a jump in the numbers of Irish undergraduate and post-graduate students at college elsewhere in Europe. Apparently, the proportion of Irish students abroad almost doubled to 13.8pc between 2002 and 2006 (above the EU average of 2.6pc), according to the Eurydice Key Education Data report. It is also indicated that almost 18,000 Irish students were studying for primary degrees or post-graduate qualifications elsewhere in Europe in 2006. There are also about 5,000 Irish students in the US.

The Irish Diaspora and Irish Economic Recovery
In today's Irish Times, Rob Kitchin and Mark Boyle (from NUI Maynooth) write about enriching relations with the Irish Diaspora. Diaspora networks could play a useful role in Irish economic recovery, in relation to exchange of knowledge and know-how. Of particular interest is the Irish Technology Leadership Group, which ivolves Irish people in senior positions in Silicon Valley, who are seeking to invest in Irish companies. This group could help potential Irish start-ups to learn about issues such as commercialisation and technological transfer.
According to Kitchin and Boyle, many countries around the world are putting diaspora strategies into place. Several of these countries – Australia, Chile, India, Jamaica, Lithuania, New Zealand, Scotland, plus the World Bank – are attending a workshop on diaspora strategies today and tomorrow, organised by NUI Maynooth. Rob Kitchin is director of the National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis at NUI Maynooth. Mark Boyle is professor of geography at NUI Maynooth. Their working paper outlining a potential diaspora strategy for Ireland can be accessed here.
