During the Greek Crisis a new wave of migration took place, related to young Greek scientists and professionals (Brain drainers). This study utilizes the qualitative collection and analysis of 31 narrative interviews with Greek Brain Drainers living and working in the United Kingdom, in an effort to examine, understand and interpret the factors that contribute to both their escape and their return home.

Greece and the United Kingdom signed a collaboration agreement on Wednesday for information exchange and close cooperation of their border police and justice system to tackle the migration crisis. 

From midnight all passenger flights from Britain and Turkey to Greece are stopped. As stated in the Joint Ministerial Decision, the government is taking this measure for preventive reasons to protect public health from further spread of coronavirus.
