The partner-level situation analysis was conducted in the framework of the TalentMagnet project co-financed by the Interreg Danube Transnational Programme. For this purpose, the Leibniz Institute for East- and Southeast European Studies (IOS), as the lead partner on this deliverable, designed a questionnaire for evaluating the current situation and recent trends in the partner cities of the TalentMagnet project. Our objective was to identify the causes prompting emigration intention, highlight the effects of the outflow of talents, and identify municipal decision-makers' policy options. In total, 18 partners from 12 different countries were involved in this process: Scientific Research Centre Bistra Ptuj (Slovenia), Municipality of Velenje (Slovenia), First Hungarian Responsible Innovation Association (Hungary), Municipality of Nyiregyhaza (Hungary), Harghita County Council (Romania), Cassovia Life Sciences (Slovakia), DEX Innovation Centre (Czech Republic), Angel Kanchev' University of Ruse (Bulgaria), Regional Cluster "North-East" (Bulgaria), Development Agency North - Dan Ltd. (Croatia), Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (Germany), Centre for European Perspective (Slovenia), Leoben Holding GmbH (Austria), European Foundation for Education e.V. (Germany), Energy and Innovation Centre of Weiz (Austria), Municipality of Apatin (Serbia), Department for Development and International Projects of Zenica-Doboj Canton (Bosnia and Herzegovina), and Uzhhorod Development Agency (Ukraine).
