Summary: 

It is a process that has different phases. The first one is the identification of skilled migrants in host countries. Once they are identified, networks of migrants are established. Within these networks, migrants are encouraged to create thematic groups. Once this network is constituted, a big national seminar in Morocco is created to which Ministries, National Institutions, Center of Research and Universities are invited. So far, there are networks in Germany, the United States, Canada and Denmark.

This initiative is managed by the Ministry in Charge of Moroccans Living Abroad and Migration Affairs that is responsible for the meeting the aspirations of its citizens residing abroad and to strengthen their ties with the homeland.
