In recent years, young Iranian university graduates have been immigrating to developed countries in droves.

Some experts consider the brain drain phenomenon a prevailing tendency among the youth, believing that it is difficult to prevent this tendency.

This trend imparts positive and negative messages to society. The negative message is that there is a problem in retaining educated people, while scientific exchanges are a positive point of the phenomenon.

Scholars residing in developed countries could help their own countries by making connections for scientific exchanges.
