Some of these researchers are some ICMAB alumni: Marta Gibert, Josep Puigmartí and Núria Bagués. And there is also an interview with Xavier Obrador's daugher, Carla Obradors, who is working in research abroad. The introduction of the report counts with Xavier Obradors comments. 

The report is about the situation and problems that young researchers who are or have done research abroad, find when they want to return home, and the conditions they are offered. Doing research abroad is undoubtedly a positive experience for them, but they must, if they want to, be able to return to contribute with their knowledge here. And this is not always easy. 

You can read the report here (in Catalan). Enjoy!
