The objective of this paper is to contribute to an important debate concerning the interaction between place-based social movements and the science, technology and innovation system. Our central proposition is that place-based social movements can facilitate unique local heterogeneous alliances with key actors of the science and technology system. A process of bricolage can emerge from these alliances whereby social movements are supported by the technical knowledge of the science community, and in turn, the priorities of the scientists are influenced by the agendas of the social movements, leading to new forms of knowledge production. We build on this to argue that these place-based engagements can create significant agency towards changes in socio-technical and socio-ecological systems in urban environments, especially in societies where regulatory oversight is weaker and social movements in areas that overlap science, technology and innovation are a common expression of civil society demand for change. Our argument is developed through a study of a social movement in defence of an urban wetland in Bogota.

Canada, as a country with a small, open economy, faces the immediate challenge of learning to shape dynamic comparative advantage in the emerging international economy. About 75 % of Canada's trade linkages are with the United States, and a very large component of the Canadian experience of « globalization » is driven by North American economic integration. This integration is taking place in the absence of institutions and policy mechanisms to promote and manage science, technology, and innovation relations on a continental scale. Bilateral s & T arrangements centered on the United States presently characterize the North American innovation System. Circumstances in North America pose three sets of challenges to Canadian s & T policy. 1) Science and technology are increasing in importance in international trade, environmental, and social/cultural matters. This means that Canada must learn to improve its management of an increasingly internationalized domestic s & T System. 2) Canada must cultivate mutually beneficial bilateral s & T relationships with its two partners in NAFTA, Mexico and the United States. 3) Canada must identify where its interests lie in the development and governance of trilateral and international rules and arrangements for science, technology, and innovation.

Innovation has been pointed out as one of the main tools for the countries' economic development facing globalization. For economic growth to happen in an egalitarian way, it is necessary to strengthen, expand, consolidate and integrate a country's research and innovation capacities, that is, strengthening its National Science, Technology and Innovation System. In this system, it is primordial that t there is a close relationship between research institutes, ST & I developers, and companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), considered to be key players in the socio-economic development of countries. Brazil already presents initiatives that seek to strengthen relations and encourage the development of technology among these actors. This article aims to discuss the relationships between the CT & I sector and its relations with SMEs, especially in Brazil, so that together they allow the development of the economy. For this, a brief literature review was carried out, which was structured in: Relation between ST&I and the national development, where will be treated some countries experience and where brazilian hystorical process will be shown; The importance of SMEs for a country economic growth, where the relations between ST&I and SME will be treated and also its indicators. Despite the innovation power for the development of the countries economies is in constant discussion, it is still a need for discussion between companies and SMEs as a fundamental relation for the growth of companies and consequently for the socio-economic growth, since as SMEs are today driving forces for development. For the central dialogue current in Brazil, the proceedings of these countries between ST & I and companies are required.

<div><p>Malaysia has achieved remarkable economic growth for most parts of its history but is finding itself dogged by weak technological dynamism due to structural features of the economy as well as less than satisfactory proficiency in science, technology and innovation (STI). Despite massive investments in creating STI infrastructure, education, physical infrastructure and incentives to support technology upgrading, the stark reality is that the country continues to lag behind the successful latecomers. This paper presents a brief overview on Malaysia’s STI achievements, salient features of the nation’s national innovation system (NIS), the key challenges of its NIS and some recommendations on moving forward. The central theme of the paper is that success in STI is not automatic. It must be made to happen through effective policies promoting innovation as well as innovations in policy-making itself.</p><p>    </p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Key words</span>: Malaysia; national innovation system; STI; innovation; policy making</p></div>

Na era do conhecimento o recurso básico da economia não se restringe unicamente ao capital ou aos recursos provindos da natureza, muito menos somente à mão de obra: é o conhecimento o recurso e os detentores ou desenvolvedores desse conhecimento são a matéria-prima do desenvolvimento e da riqueza das nações. Assim, procuramos relacionar a produção acadêmica de ciência, tecnologia e inovação, com as demandas da sociedade empresarial, sugerindo diretrizes lógicas para atualizar as políticas públicas de ciência, tecnologia e inovação no Brasil, para alinhar nosso país com a vanguarda mundial do setor e a desenvolver ciência e tecnologia, com consequente inovação de processos e produtos. Procuramos identificar oportunidades de financiamento para a produção cientifica e formas de documentar sua produção para que o conhecimento fundamente a continuidade e a dinâmica do desenvolvimento de ciência e tecnologia no país. Apresentamos uma revisão do comportamento da inovação no Brasil em comparação com outros países, destacamos marcos históricos das políticas de ciência, tecnologia e inovação, a participação das universidades públicas nesse processo e registramos a essencialidade de que o país possua um robusto e maduro Sistema Nacional de Inovação e Desenvolvimento.Palavras-Chave: ciência, tecnologia e inovação; Sistema Nacional de Inovação; organizações ambidestras; política pública.In the age of knowledge, the basic resource of economics is not restricted solely to capital or resources derived from nature, much less to labor alone: knowledge is the resource and the holders or developers of that knowledge are the raw material of development and of the wealth of nations. Thus, we seek to link the academic production of science, tech-nology and innovation with the demands of business society, suggesting logical guidelines for updating Brazil's science, technology and innovation public policies, in order to align our country with the industry's global vanguard and to de-velop Science and technology, with consequent innovation of processes and products. We seek to identify financing opportunities for scientific production and ways of documenting its production so that knowledge is based on the con-tinuity and dynamics of the development of science and technology in the country. We present a review of the behav-ior of innovation in Brazil in comparison with other countries. We highlight historical milestones of science, technology and innovation policies, the participation of public universities in this process and we note the essentiality of the coun-try having a robust and mature National System of Innovation and Development.Keywords: Science technology and innovation, National Innovation System, Ambidextrous organizations, Public policy.

Announcing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a historic agreement dissolving international sanctions against Iran has raised hopes for Iranians to restore their role in the global economy, which could lead to a significant change in the status of the national science, technology, and innovation system. This article discusses the changes in policy structure and the impacts of the sanctions on Iran’s scientific performance. We shall also examine the past intensive increasing trend and some recent drawbacks in science and technology outputs of Iran in terms of various scientometric and innovation-oriented indicators. We aim to show how the emerging opportunities can transform Iran’s economy into a knowledge-based economy and what challenges this country is facing to reach this goal.
