It works with quantitative and qualitative data on the Czech diaspora and creates a variant of a transnational field with links to formal institutions on the one hand and personal contacts based on family and friendship ties on the other. It weighs where and under what conditions institutions and friendly connectivities play a role and shows a variety of networks where institutional ties play a crucial role in the target countries. The study indicates that these skilled migrants follow patterns of mobilities between Western EU countries. However, it has been more pragmatic, less focused on the quality of the environments in the destination countries and more direct on building personal social capital. The text shows that the Czech diaspora is highly dispersed yet capable of social mobilisation for joint activities.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>10aCzech diaspora10aCzech Republic10aemigration10atransnational fields1 aUherek, Zdeněk1 aBeranská, Veronika  uhttps://ceemr.uw.edu.pl/content/transnational-field-dispersed-diasporas-czech-case
