This section features discussion papers developed under the ReICO project to support dialogue and advance understanding on key topics related to research and innovation careers. These papers explore conceptual frameworks, methodological approaches, and policy-relevant issues, often serving as a basis for stakeholder consultation and further development of ReICO outputs. They clarify definitions, highlight evidence gaps, and propose ways to improve the measurement and analysis of R&I talent, labour markets, and mobility. Some papers also document ongoing work or present preliminary findings to invite feedback from the broader community.
