INTERTWINING THE STRUCTURES OF SCIENCE POLICY TECHNO-SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE AND THE SCIENTIFIC WORKFORCE IN COLOMBIA

Project: Research Project

Project Details

Description

Science & Technology-Innovation Policies (S&TPs) have a vital role in the modern knowledge-based economy. S&TPs seek to formulate a concrete set of institutions (i.e., norms and rules) and practices for developing basic/applied research and innovations within national borders. The specialized literature on this subject has produced fruitful intellectual insights on theoretical/conceptual frameworks for improving S&TPs evaluations and assessing its impacts upon national actors involved in the production of techno-scientific knowledge. However, that sheer stream of literature on S&TP studies over the last 70 years has been focused almost solely on higher income countries. In contrast, literature focused on middle-low-income countries, such as Colombia are rather an exception, even more where the accurate and efficient formulation and implementation of S&TPs is a must in the policy-making process because of the intermittent and minuscule national investment in S&T. Therefore, in this study, I aimed to unveil the relationship between the structures of the Colombian S&TP, scientific research fronts, technological knowledge, and the scientific workforce.
