Thirty years of Canadian science policy: from 1.5 to 1.5

Roger Voyer

Science and Public Policy, 1999, vol. 26, issue 4, 277-282

Abstract: This article presents some personal observations that span a period of 30 years of involvement in Canadian science policy, beginning in 1968 when I joined the Science Council of Canada as a Science Adviser. I then went on to become Science Counsellor at the Permanent Canadian Delegation to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Research Director of the Science Council, Executive Director of the Canadian Institute for Economic Policy, Director General of the Industry and Trade Branch of the Ministry of State for Science and Technology, and finally I became a partner with Nordicity Group Ltd, a management consulting company, which I co-founded, specializing in technology-intensive industries. It is from these perspectives that my observations of the science policy scene in Canada are extracted. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
