Public Policies and Stakeholders Articulation


The Public Policies and Stakeholders Articulation area has the purpose of identifying the demands and needs in the areas of Science, Technology, and Innovation by means of:

  • The organization of the process of formulating and monitoring the country’s public policy on science, innovation and technology and the National Strategic Plan for Science, Technology, and Innovation (PENCYT as in Spanish).
  • The generation of synergies among actors linked to science, through the creation of local and regional meeting spaces to promote greater equality in the distribution of resources and services for science, research, and innovation.
  • The promotion of intersectoral participation and that of other external actors of the system through the follow-up of the Thematic Roundtables, in order to facilitate the development and implementation of the Science, Technology and Innovation Plan and its projects.
  • The promotion of associativity among the components of the National Science, Technology, and Innovation System (SNCTI as in Spanish), through the design of instruments that benefit innovative regions or sectors and the establishment of a collective dynamic of dialogue based on the convergence of interests that promotes the execution of joint projects or activities.
  • The identification and articulation of offers and demands of public and private entities that make up the National Science, Technology, and Innovation System (SNCTI as in Spanish) to strengthen it.
