Challenges and Strategies for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policies in Latin America and Beyond

Existing evaluation systems prioritize competition and academic productivity over quality, hindering academic quality improvement.
New parameters for evaluation of scientific activity, including robust epistemological criteria, are needed to improve academic quality.
Neoliberal competition and bibliometrics have shifted Latin American science, including archaeology, away from local social concerns.
Strengthening epistemological criteria in peer-review processes is necessary for improving justification of archaeology's assertions about the past.
STEM education must integrate humanities and social sciences to provide competencies for sustainable development.
The SDGs and their targets can help achieve interdisciplinarity in the classroom and promote awareness of their relevance to students' lives and careers.
A "post-competitive turn" in STI policies in Latin America may shift the focus towards innovation for social inclusion.
Universities' third mission, or social mission, should include a commitment to citizenship and social inclusion.
The Responsible Research and Innovation framework should be expanded beyond emerging technologies and include intercultural dialogue.
Academic evaluation practices in Mexico reward a classic academic profile despite public discourse promoting a researcher committed to knowledge transfer and mobilization activities.
National systems of innovation are crucial for economic performance at the country level, but evidence on their nature and institutional effects is still missing.
STI policies must be reinterpreted to connect research with market opportunities and satisfy material needs associated with democratization.Responsible Innovation and Gandhian Innovation: Perspectives on Science, Technology, and Society
STI policies are increasingly focused on social inclusion and development.
Science and innovation have the power to transform the world in uncertain and unpredictable ways.
Responsible innovation challenges us to act democratically, equitably, and sustainably.
The book "Responsible Innovation" discusses the emerging concept of responsible innovation and its practical implementation.
The book covers topics such as innovation management, future-oriented responsibility, and values-sensitive design.
Gandhian innovation involves designing inexpensive products and manufacturing them on a vast scale.
Gandhian innovation has been successful in penetrating India's mass market.
Three types of Gandhian innovation are disrupting business models, modifying existing business capabilities, and creating/sourcing new capabilities.
Universities must adopt innovation in their educational models to improve the quality of education.
The Responsible Research and Innovation framework aims to develop emerging technologies in a socially desirable way.
The framework can be further elaborated to engage in a dialogue with STI policy in the developing world.
Science, innovation, and society intersect and create benefits and challenges.
