About this product

Product Information

Latin American countries are increasing their investments in science and techlogy, introducing legislation to stimulate invation, but the impact of these efforts in the ecomy and society has been limited. Most of the existing research takes place in universities, and does t relate easily with business, government and society. There are, however, exceptions. This book looks at the science, techlogy and invation systems of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico, telling the stories of sixteen university research teams from different fields of kwledge, working in very different national contexts, but having in common the experience of producing high quality scientific kwledge in their fields, while being very active in transfering their kweldge to society. They are deviations from the more traditional academic centers in the their own countries, which tend to work acccording to the research agendas established by their individual members, with subsidies from the education and science and techology authorities, and, even when working in applied fields, have difficulties or give low priority to put their competence to practical use. In spite of their differences, they have to deal with some common issues: how to stimulate academic entrepreneurship, how to deal with issues of intellectual property, how to relate with their universities and make the best possible use their countries' invation agencies. In so doing, they help their countries to come closer to the needs of the kwledge societies of today.
