Colombian, Indian and South African scientific diasporas in Switzerland; Concluding remarks and implications for policy and research

Engaging diaspora communities in home country development is one of the priority issues in the current international debate on migration and development. An analysis of diverse contributions made by scientific diasporas to their countries of origin is the main theme of the present volume, which looks at the case of Switzerland as a destination country for skilled migrants from Colombia, India and South Africa. The objective is to provide some insights and some guidelines for policies that can promote linkages between migration and development, specifically in terms of how to capitalise on scientific diasporas as a development resource based on primary information. Previous chapters have highlighted theoretical and conceptual issues related to diasporas, scientific cooperation between developing and developed countries and specific studies of scientific diaspora communities from Colombia, India and South Africa. This final chapter provides an overview of the main findings of the study followed by a summary of the three case studies. The final sections highlight relevant policy implications and areas for further research.
