International experience has shown that close cooperation with the national scientific diaspora is crucial to strengthening the scientific and technical potential of a society. A review of academic papers revealed specific features of the global movement of scientific personnel, which causes, among other things, mutually beneficial cooperation of emigrant scientists and the donor country. For example, China, India, Korea, Taiwan, and Iran have instituted successful policies with regard to national scientific diasporas. However, the literature reveals that in Russia measures in this direction instituted by the state are inconsistent. In this study, the authors formulate proposals that should contribute to the expansion of interaction with the Russian scientific diaspora.

The article presents the technology of forming the database of the scientific diaspora on the example of Russia, as well as the approach to its verification -a survey of scientists included in the database. The analysis allowed to get the information not only about the causes of migration, interest in interacting with Russian science but also information about the awareness of tools for attracting foreign scientists to interact with Russian science and promising major research projects that can have a significant impact on the development of science and attract foreign scientists. Key words -scientific diaspora; analysis of the number of scientific diasporas; brain drain; circulation of scientific personnel; promising research projects.
