The return of Greeks abroad is one of the most crucial bets for the future of Greece. Behind the numbers and political initiatives, there are personal paths, life decisions and a deep need for a meaningful contribution.

The Greek government is embarking on a strategic initiative to reverse the brain drain phenomenon by enticing Greek professionals and scientists who left the country during the economic crisis to return. The ambitious goal is to achieve “brain regain.”

There are too many problems that young people have to face in Greece, as the latter has not been a hospitable place for many decades, and that was one of the main reasons why many young people decided to leave. This was also stressed by the Minister of State, Mr Akis Skertos, speaking to ERT channel about the brain drain and how it will be reversed.
