The study provides systematic overview of the policy tools that are used in various countries to encourage return of scientist and researchers working abroad back to their home country or at least to facilitate the transfer of information, know-how and experience from host countries. The overview of policy tools is supplemented by an attempt to quantify potential target group for such policy – the scientists and researchers of the Czech origin working in abroad.
