U prilogu casopisa Science (www.sciencecareers.org) izasao je interesantan clanak  o spanjolskom modelu organiziranog povratka mladih znanstvenika iz dijaspore.

2001 godine spanjolska vlada inicirala je Ramon y Cajal program s ciljem poticanja povratka mladih znanstvenika,  “to strengthen the research capacity of the R&D groups and institutions in Spain by injecting new blood into the system… “

…” Encouraged by claims from government officials and some research centres, many young researchers saw in the Ramón y Cajal contract a promise for a permanent position; some left secure employment abroad to accept the fellowships, convinced that their contract was akin to a tenure-track position.”

… “In the 5 years the programme has been running, about 2500 young researchers, most of them natives, have moved to Spain to accept RyC fellowships.”

5 godina poslije …

“… as the first contracts come to an end it has become clear that many host institutions are reluctant to offer RyC fellows permanent employment.”

… "When our recently named secretary of state for science and research says in a public interview that RyC programme is just a fixed-term postdoc position, he is redefining [at his own convenience] the purpose of the RyC programme created by [his] Ministry," writes Ana Maria Mancho, a former RyC researcher, in an e-mail. "Implicitly he does not want [to] recognise the problems that Spain has related to human resources and … [the] problems generating opportunities for young scientists. My impression is that he is trying to deny the problems in order to avoid his duties."
