Abstract

In this work reference frame of the potential drain of scientists was Croatian scientific community and the structure of scientists’ intention to emigrate in the middle of the year 1990.
Scientists have usually some specific (intrinsic) motives and reasons for going abroad. First of all they demand professional considerations (expectations of a better and more stimulative scientific work and creativity), advancement possibilities (promotion possibilities), research opportunities and support, etc.
Results of this investigation indicate the same tendency but there are also contaminations with economic, cost of living and political considerations. The scientists are also influenced by social crisis conditions and general causes and motives of emigration was not passed by them: there is an osvions evidence about the existential (living and professional) devastation and no perspective in general.
