Abstract

The paper presents results of qualitative research on PhD holders working at Polish universities, regarding their international mobility. The respondents’ opinions on mobility, their experiences of it (e.g. experiences of study visits), as well as obstacles, which prevented mobility were taken into consideration and analysed. Special attention was given to family issues (related to partners and children), language competences and working conditions. Declarations regarding mobility were compared to data on the respondents’ sources of income. For some of them the partner’s income was a primary means of livelihood. Therefore, we argue that demanding more mobility from the researchers may be counter-productive, since the mobility of the family could put the partner’s income at risk.
