Science Technology And Innovation

This research analyzes the evolution of the publications from academic researchers and technical publications carried out by professionals of the Science, Technology, and Innovation Parks (stips). The objective is to compare the research agenda from the two groups, increasing the comprehension of who they are and what they are researching. The method uses bibliometric techniques. The research found that the academic authors dealt with conceptual themes, while managers emphasized operations issues. Also, it was identified the growth in the academic interest on the subject (after 2015); the limited number of academic publications (177 in 12 years); China, Taiwan, and Spain as the countries with the highest academic output (40%); Spain, Brazil, and the usa concentrates 35% of technical publications. The work has implications for the academy (new topics for research agenda), and to the parks and policymakers enables a perception of the parks’ relevance to the economic development.

The information in this article problematizes and broadens the debate on the importance of science to the development of Brazil, which is currently in crisis due to cuts in research investments in the country, making it impossible for scientists to continue carrying out ground-breaking research. We argue that this is due to two main factors: the approval of the Constitutional Amendment Project no. 55/2016, popularly known as the “death PEC,” which freezes public investments for twenty years and heightens the precariousness of education, health, science, security, and other sectors key to the country’s development along with the lack of interest in investing in national science by President Jair Bolsonaro who, among other things, prioritizes the possession of firearms as well as relaxation in the control of pesticides, which can further increase deforestation and deteriorate Brazil’s environment. The development of a nation is dependent on many factors such as investment in health, education, public safety as well as science, technology, and innovation. Although Brazil is a country with enormous potential for economic development and international research, these areas have been neglected by the current government. This article analyzes the possession of firearms in Brazil as a means of inhibiting the country’s development. It concludes that investing in the above-mentioned areas can reduce violence and poverty among other problems that are present in countries where governments invest little in such crucial sectors.

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.

In a rapidly changing world where new global challenges are striking their wings all over the world, it is recognized in the modern world that CTI is one of the engines of social and economic development and the drive for globalization. It will be more effective in the future. One of the solutions to these changes lies in science, technology and innovation. Science, technology and innovation are an engine for the task of economic development, but at the same time pose new challenges, as they contribute to the restructuring of the present world in the foreseeable future. In the same context, science, technology and innovation have a growing size in all areas of modern society, and this is manifest in the current international relations and the international presence of a country and its image in the world. The ability to bring about scientific and technological developments, innovation or attract talent are fundamental aspects of soft power and public diplomacy, and represent a framework for the state.

It is shown that an increase in the competitiveness of Russia is impossible without an increase in the prestigious science and technology and innovation, and its inclusion among the top priorities. An important form of support from the public authorities should be to develop the legal framework of innovation and adoption of legal acts aimed at creating an enabling environment for innovative economic development. This should include the evelopment and improvement of the legislation in order to create a unified state policy innovation and creating favorable conditions for the development of science, technology and innovation, including its stimulation.

Science and Innovation Diplomacy (S&ID) has emerged in recent years as a relevant scholarly movement and interdisciplinary research agenda internationally. This field is promoting a significant impact on the understanding of the cultural and political dynamics of Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I), implementing initiatives from local to global level. Notwithstanding, S&ID is growing asymmetrically around the world, setting up over a particular configuration in the so-called Global South (GS) societies. In Latin America (LA), although S&ID is a recent, unequal and intra-nationally fragmented process, there are important achievements that have been able to create a favorable mix of approaches, agendas, and practices in this field. Addressing the scope of the special issue “Science Diplomacy and Sustainable Development: Perspectives from Latin America,” this article aims to present a comprehensive analytical typology to the study of the emerging experiences of S&ID in LA, catching the diversity of this research agenda. This is a qualitative merged method-based study, sustained by a literature review, documentary research, online data analysis, and typology building. We understand S&ID in LA as a tentative re-organization of different states and subnational actors around the study and institutionalization of the governance of contemporary transformations on the systems of ST&I.

Why are women underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, and innovation? Using a sample of Gates and NIH grant applications submitted by a common pool of US-based academic researchers, we implement a range of text analysis methods associated with gendered language. We find that despite significant institutional differences, there are consistent gender differences in scientific communication. By contrast, we find starkly differing impacts of these text characteristics on funding outcomes across our institutional settings. Our findings suggest that institutional reform is likely to be a viable strategy for increasing gender inclusion in science and technology.

O artigo visa a realizar uma análise da política de ciência, tecnologia e inovação brasileira a partir do campo teórico da Teoria das Convenções, uma perspectiva que surge na interface entre Sociologia e Economia através de um foco na contestação situacional da coordenação das ações. A ligação entre essas situações e a elaboração de políticas e instituições é formulada como um problema, procedendo-se à recapitulação histórica do processo de construção institucional científica e tecnológica brasileira, com especial atenção às políticas públicas de promoção das atividades de ciência e tecnologia nacionais e às conferências organizadas pelos governos e voltadas para a reflexão sobre a área. Dessa maneira, é possível realizar uma análise que identifica os princípios normativos (cités) envolvidos no processo de formulação, implementação e execução das políticas de ciência e tecnologia, possibilitando o clareamento das continuidades e descontinuidades de nossa trajetória histórica.Palavras chave: Teoria das Convenções; Política de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação; História da Ciência e Tecnologia no Brasil; Sociologia da Crítica.The article aims to conduct an analysis of Brazilian science, technology and innovation policies departing from the convention theory, a perspective that arises at the interface between sociology and economics through a focus on the situational contestation of the coordination of actions. The connection between these situations and the elaboration of policies and institutions is formulated as a problem, proceeding to the historical recapitulation of the historical process of building Brazilian scientific and technological institutions, with special attention to Science and technology public policies and conferences organized by the governments which focused to promote debate over the subject. In this way, it is possible to carry out an analysis that identifies the normative principles (cités) involved in the process of formulation, implementation and execution of the policies of science and technology, allowing to clarify continuities and discontinuities of brazilian historical trajectory.Keywords: Convention Theory; Science, Technology and Innovation Policy; History of Science and Technology in Brazil; Sociology of Critical Capacity.
