“…The internationalization of institutions is a transformative process in global perspective (Bombita & Dicolen, 2020). Through IMP, students gain new perspectives on country comparisons (Shen et al, 2022). They bring home experiences that involve not only academic aspects but also character aspects in understanding the habits, cultures, and communication styles of citizens in other countries.…”

This article is based on research conducted at nationally accredited State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN) in Indonesia, which have already begun implementing the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum. The informants serving as data sources consist of 15 students participating in the International Mobility Program (IMP). A qualitative case study gathered data from interviews, observations, and documentation. The research emphasizes that the determinants of IMP success in supporting the implementation of the MBKM curriculum consist of four aspects: 1) through the ability to adapt well to a new environment, students gain learning experiences outside the campus by adjusting and respecting cultural differences in the destination country; 2) through international language proficiency, students are increasingly trained to conduct high-quality research and communicate effectively creatively; 3) through their interest in challenges and adventures in foreign campuses, students confidently present in international forums; 4) through the transformation of a global perspective, students are motivated to pursue further studies abroad and intend to participate in international programs in the following years. Understanding and emphasizing these factors is crucial for optimizing the benefits derived from international mobility initiatives within the unique context of religious higher education institutions.

“…Scholars with mobility experiences often have greater output and stronger influence in the scientific research community; their papers are cited more frequently [32], and they tend to publish articles in journals with higher average impact factors, so the quality of scientific research output is higher [33]. More recent studies can be found in related articles [34][35][36][37]. Considering the literature, this paper proposes the following hypotheses: H1: Scholars with mobility experiences publish more papers.…”

How to Maintain Sustainable Research Productivity: From Talents Mobility Perspective

Maintaining sustainable progress in knowledge and technology is essential in building a sustainable society. The transnational or transregional mobility of talents is one of the important channels for the flow and sustainability of knowledge and technology. Based on the social network theory, we attempt to investigate whether scholars’ mobility experience will effectively improve their future scientific research productivity. Empirical studies were conducted based on the academic curriculum vitae of faculties in a leading research university in China from 2008 to 2023. The results suggest that the mobility experience of scholars does not have a significant influence on the total number and quality of papers when we consider both domestic and international publications due to diversified publication channels in the social science disciplines. However, in terms of the number of papers published in international journals and international collaborations, the existence of mobility experiences in their past education or working experience has a significant positive impact on scholars’ later research productivity. In addition, scholars flowing through joint training programs at their doctoral phase tend to produce more co-authored papers. This research provides a reference for the wellbeing and sustainable productivity of university scholars, which is essential in higher education and social environments, and provides universities in developing countries with inspiration for building a sustainable academic talent flow system. It is important to note that this empirical study mainly focuses on researchers and publications in the social sciences, and the behavioral pattern and impact on research outputs might be different for scholars in the natural science disciplines. Due to the limitations with regard to data acquisition, this paper has not further discussed building an international academic network, which needs more in-depth research in the future.

“…Institutions from these countries have effectively integrated themselves into global academic networks partially through successful policies for internationalization of graduate and research programs, well-funded by universities, governments and companies [ 67 ]. For example, Nanyang Technical University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Seoul are cases of institutions who have overcome the one-way road of talent departure [ 68 ]. This can be viewed as a significant outcome of past investments in R&D capabilities within some emerging economies.…”

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), algorithm optimization and high-throughput experiments has enabled scientists to accelerate the discovery of new chemicals and materials with unprecedented efficiency, resilience and precision. Over the recent years, the so-called autonomous experimentation (AE) systems are featured as key AI innovation to enhance and accelerate research and development (R&D). Also known as self-driving laboratories or materials acceleration platforms, AE systems are digital platforms capable of running a large number of experiments autonomously. Those systems are rapidly impacting biomedical research and clinical innovation, in areas such as drug discovery, nanomedicine, precision oncology, and others. As it is expected that AE will impact healthcare innovation from local to global levels, its implications for science and technology in emerging economies should be examined. By examining the increasing relevance of AE in contemporary R&D activities, this article aims to explore the advancement of artificial intelligence in biomedical research and health innovation, highlighting its implications, challenges and opportunities in emerging economies. AE presents an opportunity for stakeholders from emerging economies to co-produce the global knowledge landscape of AI in health. However, asymmetries in R&D capabilities should be acknowledged since emerging economies suffers from inadequacies and discontinuities in resources and funding. The establishment of decentralized AE infrastructures could support stakeholders to overcome local restrictions and opens venues for more culturally diverse, equitable, and trustworthy development of AI in health-related R&D through meaningful partnerships and engagement. Collaborations with innovators from emerging economies could facilitate anticipation of fiscal pressures in science and technology policies, obsolescence of knowledge infrastructures, ethical and regulatory policy lag, and other issues present in the Global South. Also, improving cultural and geographical representativeness of AE contributes to foster the diffusion and acceptance of AI in health-related R&D worldwide. Institutional preparedness is critical and could enable stakeholders to navigate opportunities of AI in biomedical research and health innovation in the coming years.
