Resumen
This 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.
