Over five years, the talent-repatriation programme in Brazil aims to invest 1 billion reais ($190 million) to bring back expatriated scientists and collaborate with researchers overseas.
Temporary injection of money alone will not solve the issue of brain drain as Brazil lacks enough tenure-track positions for returning scientists to have sustainable careers.
Expats are unlikely to return until the Brazilian academic system undergoes essential reforms as short-term initiatives have previously failed to keep them in the country.
