Abstract：Maintaining and attracting Highly skilled returnees,termed “Diaspora Strategy”,as national strategy and policy objective,attributes to Israeli economic and S&T development and innovation.Government of Israel passed a series of State-assisted return programs to incentivize and aim the return of nationals residing abroad by using public resources since 1970s.Along with the changes in the social,political and economic fields,such policy and its discourse has also undergone extensive and deep transformation over time.Firstly,early efforts were rationalized in the name of strengthening the nation and ethno-national identity,gradually to emphasize the professional satisfaction of individual/family;Secondly,non-governmental organizations take increasingly meaningful parts in highly skilled talent strategy-formation processes and create a new model of public-private partnership(PPP);Thirdly,recent programs characterize privatization,selectivity and differential compensation increasingly to improve the precise match between talent and profession.
