This contribution has supported the Uruguayan Government initiative to elaborate a network of highly-qualified Uruguayans abroad to enable the country to better benefit from this type of migration, especially from the experience acquired abroad by the migrant workers. A National Commission for the networking of highly-skilled Uruguayans has been created. This Commission has proposed new programmes that link Uruguayans working abroad. It has also established mechanisms of networking, and institutionalizing the programme. The activities envisaged under the programme were, inter alia, the creation of databases and the elaboration of a web page for the circulation of information between the different stakeholders.
