Global experience of interaction with scientific diaspora: lessons for Russia

Abstract

International experience has shown that close cooperation with the national scientific diaspora is crucial to strengthening the scientific and technical potential of a society. A review of academic papers revealed specific features of the global movement of scientific personnel, which causes, among other things, mutually beneficial cooperation of emigrant scientists and the donor country. For example, China, India, Korea, Taiwan, and Iran have instituted successful policies with regard to national scientific diasporas. However, the literature reveals that in Russia measures in this direction instituted by the state are inconsistent. In this study, the authors formulate proposals that should contribute to the expansion of interaction with the Russian scientific diaspora.
