“…This contributes to the formation of closed scientific diasporas and the return transfer of scientists to their homeland. Most BRICS countries implement special programs designed to stimulate the return of scientists and students to their homeland (Korobkov, 2020;Volokh and Gerasimova, 2019;Zvereva, Belenkova and Kruse, 2020). China has made the greatest efforts in this regard since the late 1990s (Miao and Wang, 2017).…”

“…Research based on interviews with academic migrants also emphasizes the problem of motivation; studies from across the global South indicate that these motivations have much in common across regions (Leung, 2017;Van Holm, Wu and Welch, 2019;Novgorodtseva and Belyaeva, 2020). However, direct research into the motivation of academic migration using representative surveys and quantitative methodology is lacking (Ilić and Milosavljević, 2017;Gui, Liu and Du, 2019;Korobkov, 2020).…”

“…Researchers point out that actually there is an effect of reverse transmission: migrants returning to their homeland bring new knowledge, methods of learning and work, and technologies; while working abroad, they generate huge cash flows that become a solid part of the investment potential for their home countries, and as a diaspora abroad, they create economic and socio-political support for their home countries (Bailey and Mulder, 2017;Dragan and Milosavljevic, 2018;Korobkov, 2020).…”

One of the major problems in the relationship between the Global South and the Global North is the the drain of intellectual capital from the economies and education systems of the most developed countries of the Global South, which bothers both developing countries and some European ones. The purpose of the study is to reveal the reasons for the migration of scientists and students from Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China, South Africa (BRICS countries) and identify the consequences of the process through the example of a Russian university by studying the characteristics of personal experience and motivation of students and teachers. The research is devoted to the study of academic activity abroad and the attitude of 360 four- and five-year students and 321 teachers at Novosibirsk State University (Novosibirsk, the Russian Federation) towards the practice. The survey results revealed that a relatively small number of respondents (31.07% of teachers and 9.03% of students) have experience of foreign academic activity; the large majority of participants highly assessed the possibility of studying and working abroad (4.87 and 3.48 on a 5-point Likert scale among teachers and students, respectively). The results of the study are in line with the findings of similar studies on academic migration in other BRICS countries; therefore, they can be extrapolated in a broader context. In particular, according to all respondents, the possibility of repeated or circular migration is extremely low (0.88 and 1.61). The research results can help to manage international research and exchange programs, as well as to regulate university training programs and academic migration. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of the motivation of scientists and students on academic migrating and their assessment of migration intentions based on an example of a single educational institution and region.

“…Academic diaspora refers to the feelings and experiences of togetherness, affinity and solidarity among scholars who live away from a common homeland. African, Russian, Indian and Chinese academic diasporas are relatively well studied (Hugo 2010;Korobkov 2020). There has been scant attention to academic diasporas of scholars from Turkey, even though this group has shown strong patterns of migration and employment abroad historically.…”

There has been a meteoric surge in academics migrating out of Turkey in the last five years. Many scholars have found new careers in Britain, which previously had a relatively small community of Turkish scholars. Drawing on a systematic and narrative review, this paper provides a scoping review of the fragmented literature on the Turkish academic community in Britain and its possibilities of forming a supportive academic diaspora. Building on the literature on academic diasporas and evidence from national surveys, we question whether the Turkish academic community could develop an academic diaspora in Britain. We identify the boundary conditions, current networks, categories, definitions, antecedents and consequences of the diaspora and the possibilities of creating a federation supported by supranational and national agencies to build bridges across Turkish academic diasporas in Britain.
