Academic remunerations and careers in Europe: challenges in attracting talent
- In 2022, the Conference of Italian University Rectors commissioned a study on the attractiveness of European university systems. The main concern was the lack of competitiveness in terms of academic remuneration in Italy. Four European countries were selected for a comparative analysis: France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Findings revealed that remuneration schemes and levels diverge significantly, and Italy lags far behind the other nations.
