Resumo Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a participação da sociedade civil no processo de elaboração e implementação da Política de Ciência,Tecnologia e Inovação (CTI) no Brasil tendo em vista uma estratégia de desenvolvimento sustentável. O artigo apresenta o argumento que a realização das Conferências de CTI tem permitido uma ampliação da percepção da importância da CTI para o desenvolvimento do país e facilitado a participação de novos atores da sociedade civil nas discussões em torno das tecnologias sociais. Desse modo, tem contribuído para o tratamento da questão social na agenda da PCTI. Contudo, as Conferências de CTI têm seguido mais o modelo tradicional de alfabetização científica dos cidadãos do que criado uma abertura para colher opiniões e demandas dos participantes para a definição da política.Palavras-chave política de CTI, participação, sociedade civil, desenvolvimentoAbstract This article aims to analyze the participation of civil society in the drafting and implementation of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policy in Brazil, considering a sustainable development strategy.

Science Technology And Innovation

In 2015, the United Nations General assembly adopted a set of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), including goals to further reduce poverty, hunger and inequality and to improve education, health, cities, economic wellbeing, environmental conditions and access to water and energy. Science, technology and innovation (STI) will play critical roles if these connected SDGs are to be achieved. This book provides an interdisciplinary lens to understand the potential roles and contributions of STI in meeting the SDGs, and the challenges and requirements for that to occur. Its three main sections address these issues for energy and environment, health, and agriculture. In 26 chapters by 71 authors from 18 countries, the book covers a multitude of pressing problems and current opportunities, with an emphasis on the role of STI in developing countries. It focuses on stakeholder involvement in successful application of STI and SDGs. It also offers recommendations to policymakers and practitioners on how STI can be harnessed to deliver the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the SDGs.
