Knowledge Transfers Through Diaspora Transnationalism and Return Migration: A Case Study of Indian Skilled Migrants

La integración de redes transnacionales en nanociencias y nanotecnología: el rol de la diáspora científica y la medicina traslacional

“…En estos procesos de intercambio e interacción y de conformación de estos nuevos espacios, ha sido reconocido el valor de la cooperación internacional y la intervención de las diásporas científicas y técnicas como actores relevantes. En ese mismo sentido algunos autores hacen referencia a la posibilidad de sacar provecho Revista Redes 53 -ISSN 1851-7072 de la circulación del conocimiento (brain gain) (Meyer and Charum, 1995;Gaillard, 1999;Meyer, Kaplan and Charum, 2001;Barré et al, 2003;Tejada, 2012a).…”

Diaspora as a source of human capital: the effects of the relationship between scientific Turkish diaspora and the homeland on reverse brain drain

“…In this context, there are studies that indicate that policies of both the homeland and the host countries have effects on the probability of reverse brain drain (intellectual and physical) (Biao, 2007;Thorn & Holm-Nielsen, 2006), as well as the studies that emphasize the impact of the sense of belonging on the homeland to the effect of reverse brain drain (intellectual and physical) (Agrawal et al, 2007;Libaers, 2007;Siar (2014). In some studies, it has been determined that one of the factors that determines the possibility of reverse brain drain (intellectual and physical) and diaspora networks is the policies implemented by the host countries (Yang & Qiu, 2010;Yang & Welch, 2010).In the studies that approach the subject both in reverse brain drain and in diaspora networks, it is emphasized that there are sociocultural effects as well as the economic effects of diasporas and those who return to their homeland through physical reverse brain drain (Siddiqui & Tejada, 2014;Tejada, 2013;Tejada & Bolay, 2010).…”

The Albanian scientific diaspora: can the brain drain be reversed?

“…In this latter scenario, if certain conditions exist (as we shall see, this is the key for the Albanian case), the emigration of highly skilled people, instead of impoverishing the country, could be a resource leading to its prosperity, as long as the diaspora can be mobilised to good effect. Many countries around the world now pay more attention to their migrant academics, scientists and researchers, who can be activated and organised for the benefit of their countries of origin (Kuznetsov, 2006;Tejada, 2012). Two examples relatively close to Albania can be briefly mentioned.…”
