Even before the outbreak of the Eurozone crisis, a migration trend of Greek physicians into the German health system was well underway. With particular focus on Greek physicians who are practicing medical specialization training, this article investigates the subjective motivations for their decision to emigrate with the help of six semi‐structured qualitative interviews. This article also intends to explain this migration case by considering the role played by the political framework according to an institutional approach, based on the approach of Robyn Iredale and the research findings of Kirsten Hoesch. This is mainly achieved by comparing the German and Greek health sectors, focusing on the key actors in control of the structure's development. Finally, this article aims to demonstrate that the subjective motivations of the interviewees are related to employment considerations and conditions in Greece and Germany, as consequences pertaining to the structures of both health systems and the relevant political framework ‐ the main actors of the health sectors, the state in Greece, as well as the physicians' associations in Germany.

In this article, we investigated how the pandemic actually influenced decisions of migration/mobility of highly skilled EU migrants. We took a closer look at physicians in Greece and Germany, because they can be seen as a very mobile migrant group, which is highly demanded by the labour market of the health industry as doctors in hospitals, clinics or universities in both countries and beyond. Based on the opposed theoretical concepts of 'transnational mobility or migration' and 'stasis,' we conducted in-depth interviews with selected Greek doctors before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study indicate that the pandemic has mainly had little impact on the migration/mobility of interviewed Greek doctors. Rather, economic demand on the health market seems to be more important than the impact of the pandemic on mobility, long-term migration or stasis.

Im Beitrag wird auf Grundlage aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse die 'neue', durch die europäische Wirtschaftskrise bedingte und über zehn Jahre hinweg anhaltende EU-Binnenmigration als 'Bildungsmigration' einerseits von Hochqualifizierten und andererseits von Familien mit (Schul-)Kindern gedeutet. Auf daraus resultierende Forschungsfragen wird dann im Zusammenhang mit der Vorstellung eines geplanten Projektes über Bildungsbiografien von Kindern aus sozial- und bildungsprivilegierten sowie aus weniger oder nicht-privilegierten neuzugewanderten Familien, welches im translokalen Raum Deutschland-Griechenland durchgeführt werden soll, eingegangen.
