Towards a new observatory for science and technology in Colombia

Hernan Jaramillo Salazar

Research Evaluation, 1996, vol. 6, issue 3, 201-204

Abstract: Information on science and technology (S&T) is a public good, and nations need institutions at arm's-length from the policy organs of government to collect and document S&T activities. The concept of an observatory for S&T already exists in Europe; the author proposes to develop the concept for application as part of the national system of innovation in a developing nation such as Colombia. The output of an S&T observatory is a necessary input into the public debate over S&T policies and the other public policies dependent on S&T inputs. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
