Bookmarks for June 19th

Posted by Eric on June 19th, 2009

My daily selection of the most interesting news on the internets:

  • The Great U-Turn – Over the past century, individuals seeking to better their lives have seen the US as the land of opportunity. But the recent economic recession has apparently changed this view, as some immigrants are deciding to return home, for good.
  • Innovation and the economy – Plans are in hand to introduce innovation bonds as a new means of financing technology start-ups.
  • Foreign fees may founder as ‘perfect storm’ brews – A “perfect storm” caused by recession, increasingly tight visa regulations and other factors such as concern about swine flu is putting the UK at risk of losing crucial income from overseas students, universities have been warned.
  • Go Dutch, save money – Why don’t more British students head to the University of Maastricht, where they can take degrees in English and – best of all – pay lower fees than at home?
