Global Experience in Interaction with Compatriot Scientists: Lessons for Russia

Аннотация

Foreign experience has shown that close interaction with the national scientific diaspora is imperative to reinforce the scientific and technological potential of society. Academic studies have established specific traits of the global circulation of scientific personnel, including fruitful cooperation between emigrant scientists and the donor country. By the example of China, India, Korea, Taiwan, and Iran, this article shows the successful experience of developing a systems policy relative to national scientific diasporas. As for Russia, the state’s measures in this respect are uncoordinated and inconsistent. Proposals for widening cooperation with the Russian scientific diaspora are formulated.
