Linking Knowledge Across Borders: Science Diasporas and Global South Development. The aim of this Research Topic is to explore the mechanisms, conditions, and impacts of engaging scientific diasporas in the Global South. By analyzing experiences of collaboration, knowledge circulation, and science diplomacy, this Topic will provide a platform to examine how diaspora scientists contribute to the strengthening of STI ecosystems in their countries of origin. It also seeks to foster evidence-based discussion on how to transform traditional “brain drain” narratives into models of “brain gain” and “brain circulation” through inclusive engagement strategies. This Research Topic is currently accepting articles.
