ROBAINA, Sofía. Migratory experience and international linkage of Uruguayan researchers who decide to return to the country. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2018, n.34, pp.103-119. ISSN 1657-6357.  https://doi.org/10.25100/sye.v0i34.5644.

This paper aims to deal with two aspects of the mobility of Uruguayan researchers: their migration decisions and the academic links they develop internationally. The objective is to contribute both to the understanding of the reasons associated with the emigration and the return of Uruguayan researchers, and to the knowledge about the transnational academic links they develop. A qualitative approach is carried out based on conducting interviews with researchers who, after a residence time abroad decide to return to Uruguay. The analysis allows us to conclude that the mobility and international exchange of Uruguayan researchers are promoted by the restrictions of the national context to be trained and to dedicate themselves to research; specifically due to the comparative limitations of the local scene in terms of postgraduate offer, infrastructure and, material and human resources to do investigation.

Palabras clave : Internationalization of science; scientific mobility; international linkage.
