Improved Institutional Capacities and New Multilevel Governance for Talent Attraction and Retention in the Danube Region

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Danube

Date of latest update: 2024-03-22

Description

Description (EN):

TalentMagnet addresses major societal (demographic and labour market) challenges caused by the outmigration of highly-educated young people, primarily from small- and medium sized towns in the Danube Region (brain drain). Our project intends to address these challenges by improved multilevel governance, targeted policy instruments and practical tools to attract and retain talent – tailored to the specific needs of small municipalities. These challenges are DTP-specific: according to OECD-UNDESA “World migration in Figures”, the biggest increase in emigration rates have been recorded in Danube area. This has grave demographic and labour market implications: these countries experience shortage of highly educated labour force. Limited institutional capacities and lack of prior experience of public bodies, other relevant stakeholders (especially in smaller towns) in the region hinder effective combating against outmigration of young workforce.The main objective of TalentMagnet is to strengthen multilevel governance and improve institutional capacities to reduce the outmigration of talented young workforce. The main result of TalentMagnet is an established new multilevel and transnational governance model/tools/plans for talent attraction and retention, by more effective, wider and deeper transnational cooperation across the DTP. Our partnership is characterized by transnational, intersectoral and multilevel cooperation forming a Quadruple Helix model with partners from academia, business, politics/administration and civil society in a joint learning process. The ERDF/IPA/ENI partners as well as ASP come from 12 countries: TM will help institutional actors and other stakeholders in the DTP to identify obstacles, develop and implement a plan to address them. Our partnership will improve institutional capacities, design 13 strategies, develop a toolkit, deliver 13 pilot actions, develop policy proposals while establishing a new multilevel governance model.

Achievements (EN):

GUIDEBOOK - Multilevel Governance for Talent Attraction and Retention: The TalentMagnet project partners worked diligently together to provide as many tools as possible – a so-called TalentMagnet Toolkit – which can be adapted to local use in cities inside and outside the partnership. When one of these tools is especially important to the discussed subject, you will see either a coloured text box with a toolkit icon or – if the given tool is discussed in more detail – a whole page marked the same way. Note, that those TalentMagnet outputs which are NOT part of the Toolkit will be marked with the treasure chest icon instead! This is supposed to be a practical guide with real-life examples to demonstrate the major points, so there will be sections for relevant good practices – again, some of these can be presented in only one paragraph, but sometimes you will see a whole page with a star icon on it.

Expected Outputs (EN):

The main envisaged result of TalentMagnet is establishmend of new multilevel and transnational governance model for talent attraction and retention by more effective, wider and deeper transnational cooperation across the Danube region. Gradual decline of the important part of the region’s future workforce is a major threat with negative demographic and labour market implications. To effectively tackle this challenge, most of all a much stronger cooperation of relevant stakeholders is needed – on local, regional, national and even transnational level. That is why our project sets out to establish an improved multilevel governance model. However, TalentMagnet will not only strengthen cooperation through a better functioning multilevel governance model, but also will significantly improve the capacity of institutional actors (with special focus on local authorities), enabling the creation of optimal framework conditions in local communities to attract and retain talents. By attracting and retaining talented young workforce TalentMagnet will help at least to sustain and even increase competitiveness, thus also contributes to the economic development of the Danube Region. To achieve its main result the project will raise the awareness of public sector bodies and other stakeholders (also labor market organization and private sector) of the challenge, build their knowledge and skills and offer possible solutions; design, test and transfer various new talent attraction and retention tools, enable the preparation of local talent attraction and retention plans using participative methods and design a better functioning multilevel governance model. The project will also improve other aspects of the framework conditions by improving the local, national and transnational policy environment.
