Can do-it-yourself laboratories open up the science, technology, and innovation research system to civil society?

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. This article presents the argument that STI Conferences have allowed an expansion of awareness of STI importance for Brazilian development. Moreover, these meetings have facilitated the participation of new civil society actors in social technology discussions.Thereby, they have contributed to the inclusion of social issues in the STI Policy agenda. However, STI Conferences have followed the traditional model of citizens’ scientific literacy more than created an opening for feedbacks and demands from participants in order to define policies.Keywords STI policy, participation, civil society, development

Science Technology And Innovation

Two promising streams of research in innovation involve the innovation stemming from the interaction of multiple actors (i.e. innovation networks) and innovation modes [the modes focused on science, technology, and innovation (STI) and learning by doing, using, and interacting (DUI)]. However, scholars have not exerted much effort in cross-referencing these two literature streams. Following a protocol to conduct a systematic review of the literature, through Scimago journals ranking (Q1 and Q2 classification) available at the Web of Science and B-On databases, this study considered 44 articles for eligibility. Moreover, it systematically considers the key features of innovation emerging from DUI networks versus STI networks. Finally, it contributes to future innovation research by comprehensively reviewing the drivers, processes, and outcomes of the STI and DUI innovation emerging from networks.
