Ítem Bridging knowledge frontiers: a comparative analysis of international strategies and methodologies to engage scientific diasporas and foster transnational collaboration(Ediciones Universidad Simón Bolívar, 2025) Echeverría-King, Luisa F.; Pantovic, Branislav; Bonilla, Kleinsy; Moreno García, DanielaThis policy document offers a concise, comparative roadmap for governments, STI agencies, and organized diaspora networks to transform “brain drain” into dynamic knowledge circulation. Drawing on relevant global practices, it distills ten strategic action areas that integrate institutionalization, hybrid engagement models, robust monitoring, and multilevel governance. The document shows how scientific diasporas can shift from latent assets to permanent partners, catalyzing innovation, evidence-based policymaking, and sustainable development across Latin America and beyond.Ítem The Colombian scientific diaspora: creating bridges of knowledge(Universidad Simón Bolívar, 2025) Piñeros Ayala, Rafael; Echeverría-King, Luisa F.; Pantovic, Branislav; Bonilla, KleinsyThis study analyzes the evolving role of the scientific diaspora in promoting national development within the specific context of Colombia. International mobility of highly skilled individuals has shifted from being viewed solely as “brain drain” to a potential source of “brain circulation” and capacity building. For Colombia, a country historically characterized by significant emigration, leveraging its skilled diaspora is increasingly recognized as an asset for enhancing its science, technology, and innovation (STI) ecosystem and international competitiveness. Using a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory methodology, this research employs a single-case study of Colombia, analyzing primary sources such as laws, strategic public policy documents, and semi-structured interviews. The study also incorporates statistical insights from the Growth Lab to characterize the demographic profile and commitment levels of the diaspora. The findings indicate that while the Colombian government has acknowledged the strategic importance of the scientific diaspora and scientific diplomacy in its legal and policy frameworks, practical implementation remains inconsistent. Efforts are often poorly coordinated, lack continuity, and are hampered by institutional tensions between the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MinCiencia) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE). The paper concludes that achieving a robust and reciprocal relationship between the state and its scientific diaspora requires a clear, continuous, and integrated scientific diplomacy strategy. This strategy must move beyond a focus on remittances to actively cultivate trust, promote diaspora associations, and establish permanent institutional mechanisms for their engagement in technical capacity building and foreign policy alignment.Ítem Engagement of the Argentine scientific diaspora: analysis of the RAICES Program Network of Argentine Researchers and Scientists abroad(Universidad Simón Bolívar, 2025) Pombo, Karina; Echeverría-King, Luisa F.; Pantovic, Branislav; Bonilla, KleinsyThis policy document presents an in-depth analysis of Argentina’s RAÍCES Program, a long-standing state policy designed to engage, reconnect, and leverage the Argentine scientific diaspora. Created in 2000 and institutionalized by law in 2008, the program addresses decades of sustained emigration of highly skilled researchers by promoting repatriation, strengthening scientific networks abroad, and fostering international collaboration. Through instruments such as the Return Grant, the César Milstein Grant for short-term research visits, and the formalization of 23 scientific networks in 22 countries, RAÍCES has become one of Argentina’s most recognized science and technology initiatives. The study, based on document analysis and interviews with program officials and diaspora members, highlights RAÍCES’ contributions to national STI capacities, its integration into Argentina’s science diplomacy strategy, and its influence on bilateral cooperation, policy planning, and international visibility. It also identifies challenges—including limited funding and insufficient engagement with the private sector—and underscores the program’s continued relevance as a model for Global South countries seeking to strengthen ties with their scientific communities abroad.Ítem Engaging the scientific diaspora: the case of Mexico(Universidad Simón Bolívar, 2025) Hernández Mondragón, Alma Cristal; Cuapio, Angélica; Echeverría-King, Luisa F.; Pantovic, Branislav; Bonilla, KleinsyThis case study explores the institutional and organizational dynamics that shape Mexico’s engagement with its scientific diaspora. Through a documentary review and complementary consultations with diaspora members and government officials, the study examines both formal mechanisms, such as the Global Network of Highly Skilled Mexicans Abroad (Red Global MX), and the broader informal dynamics that sustain transnational scientific collaboration.Ítem Policies on diaspora in Brazil(Universidad Simón Bolívar, 2025) Coelho Ferreira, Gabriela Gomes; Nunes Gimenez, Ana Maria; Echeverría-King, Luisa F.; Pantovic, Branislav; Bonilla, KleinsyThis study examines the stance of the Brazilian State toward its scientific diaspora, conceptualized as a community of highly qualified professionals working in institutions of science, technology, and innovation (ST&I) abroad. The analysis examines the challenges and opportunities associated with this group’s engagement, proposing a transition beyond the traditional return-based policy framework toward models that emphasize knowledge circulation and international scientific cooperation. National literature, though still emerging, converges on three axes: the recognition of the diaspora’s strategic potential, the lack of consistent public policies, and the need to institutionalize sustainable forms of engagement. Using a qualitative and documentary methodological approach, the study traces the evolution of Brazilian policies concerning its scientific diaspora. Findings indicate that while recent efforts have expanded the focus from physical repatriation to transnational collaboration, a return-oriented logic still predominates. The paper concludes by advocating for a renewed trust-based partnership between the State and its diaspora to transform globally distributed knowledge into a strategic asset for national development.
