The paper aims at seizing the opportunity offered by the Changing Academic Profession INternational Survey to investigate several aspects of the international mobility of scholars.On the basis of some findings and conclusions from both the research on international migrations and on academic mobility which converge in considering a sociological life course approach suitable for studying international academic mobility, several types of international academic mobility are identified and discussed. Further, the impact of international mobility of scholars on their international activity is analysed showing whether these two aspects of the academic profession are linked or not, and which types of mobile academics are the most internationally active.
