Austrian Universities Announce €5MM PhD Partnership with India

The war for top talent is going to 10x in intensity as demographic challenges hit pretty much every developed nation over the next decade. I wrote about countries pouncing on top talent from America here, last month 3 top technical Austrian Universities announced a €5MM fund. The purpose is to:

• generate "[i]nnovative study programmes and PhD programmes" attracting the brightest minds of India
• allow students to gain expertise in areas mission critical to Austrian society: plant construction, automation, infrastructure, and e-commerce
• make it easier for these Indian graduates to then find jobs in the Austrian labor market

I expect a lot more programs like this for PhD level talent in the coming years.
