  Maintaining competitiveness is one of the long-term strategic goals for companies. Beside
  tangible and intangible assets, the value of human capital is continuously growing, due to
  changes in the labour market. A loyal, highly skilled employee makes a significant contribution
  to organizational success through competencies, experience, and skills. The career management
  system of multinational companies became more attractive by the possibility of international
  assignments, which is a very complicated process requiring complex planning. This system is
  considered global for several reasons: its transnational nature, international experience gained
  by the employees and the achievable career on a global scale for the individual (as a part of a
  successful process).
  Creating a global career management system thus involves a number of HR functions.
  Emphasis should be placed on finding suitable employees, selecting, onboarding, mentoring, on
  methods and the evaluators in the performance appraisal process, providing feedback on a
  regular basis and in an appropriate manner, achieving and maintaining motivation, developing
  competencies and supporting the balance in mental health.

  A significant portion of studies on the internationalization of higher education is student-centred, focusing on the number of international students at universities, foreign language courses, international collaborations, and participation in Erasmus-type student and faculty exchange programmes. In contrast, the examination of faculty mobility, particularly long-term mobility, is a less explored area. Since long-term mobility is generally organized by the faculty member through individual applications, institutions often lack centralized databases on the participants, numbers, and destination countries, making research on the topic challenging. The aim of the current paper is to review and summarize the international literature on long-term international faculty mobility, as well as the results of comprehensive international studies spanning multiple countries. The cited studies highlight international trends in mobility: main directions, the proportion of participants, their age, fields of science, gender distribution, and destination countries. The paper also points out significant differences between countries.
