• For a knowledge-based economy is a significant dissemination and use of knowledge linked to mobility of factors. Nowadays, many ambitious and educated young people go abroad to gain further education, new knowledge, gain interesting jobs, and become acquainted with the world. Attractive or better paid jobs are a component in a set of attractions for big agglomerations. Talent development centers, which are often capitals or large-scale cities, are a natural magnet for talented and ambitious people. The home environment is enriched by the arrival of talents from abroad. From a national point of view, it is desirable that some people return to their homeland in the short or medium term. The backward mobility term introduced by us is an expression of this challenge. The project explains both theoretically and empirically the processes of mobility and backward mobility of talents in the context of big cities. The case study will focus on Bratislava and Žilina.
