Abstract
How to reach expatriate members of a diaspora is a major challenge in diaspora studies and policy-making. This chapter relates some of the results of research conducted through the CIDESAL project (2009–2013), which explored new avenues for connecting with diasporas. The originality of the research lay in the use of an innovative source of data from an on-line database, the Web of Science (WoS). A methodology such as “Mobility by the WoS” makes it possible to considerably increase the capacity to contact, know and mobilize the diaspora. The database of the WoS lends itself well to building further links with the scientific diaspora. In the three countries considered in the survey and discussed in this chapter (Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay), it is clear that return migration is a significant element of the overall migration and diaspora experience.
