    Study Notes

    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.
