Abstract: This report provides evidence and policy recommendations concerning Germany's role in the global landscape of international scientific mobility and collaborations. Our analysis draws upon a comprehensive dataset from Scopus, encompassing over 5 million articles authored by researchers affiliated with German institutions from 2005 to 2020. We identify mobile scientists and collaborations based on the affiliations reported in their publications. To enhance the mobility analysis, we enrich this data with an ethnic analysis of authors' full names using IBM-GNR library. Additionally, we integrate data on doctoral theses conducted in Germany between 2000 and 2020. Our study explores trends within Germany, comparing its situation with other countries in Europe and globally. It also includes a specialized focus on three broadly defined disciplinary fields: Artificial Intelligence, Bioeconomy, and Advanced Manufacturing. Furthermore, the report assesses the impact of key policy measures such as the Excellence Initiative program, the Alexander von Humboldt professorship, and the AI Strategy.
