“…Second, at the institutional level, attracting skilled people and teaching staff to modernize and strengthen research universities has been particularly facilitated by establishing Graduate Schools, which have been developed progressively worldwide over the past decade, as discussed before in this paper. Our research also shows that international academic and scientific cooperation seems to emerge as a major shaping factor for development at an unprecedented level to address these issues (Heitor, 2014). It is well known that academic institutions from developed countries are now operating internationally, addressing not only potential students individually (this was the traditional paradigm), but increasingly developing new types of institutional arrangements, such as "international graduate schools".…”

We focus this paper on the conditions to build reliable science, technology and higher education systems in Latin America, based on international comparative studies, fieldwork and interviews conducted over the last three years. The analysis shows that science can have a major role in furthering the democratization of society through public policies that foster opportunities to access knowledge and the advanced training of human resources. Broadening the social basis for higher education promotes the qualification of the labour force and contributes decisively to social and economic development. The need to guarantee higher education diversity, strengthening scientific institutions and investing in a strong science base, is deemed as critical, but goes far beyond policies centred on innovation and industry-science relationships. It requires adequate training and attraction of skilled people, as well as promoting scientific and technological culture among society.

“…But, of course, global interactions are the norm in the realm of knowledge (Archibugi and Filippetti, 2015a). Academe always had the propensity to share knowledge across borders and formal and informal contacts among scholars working in the same issues have been the norm (Heitor, 2015;Hennemann and Liefner, 2015). Over the last decades similar trends have occurred also within the business community (Cantwell and Molero, 2003;McCann, 2013, 2015).…”

Does it matter whether research is conducted by the private business rather than in universities or government research centres? While most of the attention of science and innovation policy in the last decades has explored the relevance of the interconnections between public and business players in enhancing knowledge-based societies, a major trend has been ignored: both the quota of public R&D and its share over the total R&D investment has shrunk in most OECD countries. As a result, a larger fraction of knowledge is today generated in the private sector. We argue that this is a major problem since public research and private research differ along a number of characteristics, e.g. public access, potential for future technological innovations, criteria of resource allocation. This trend can have adverse implications for long-term innovation and economic welfare in our societies. Through the lens of the public goods theory and of the sector of funding and execution of R&D for the period 1981-2012 we try to explain why.

“…More and more initiatives are awaking including the "social" term in entrepreneurial and innovative sectors, following supranational framework, attempting to fulfil the lack of resources and technical assistance. Indeed, this perception of the "academia relationship" towards a new paradigm to link university-industry-government, as known Triple Helix (Etzkowitz, 2008;Heitor, 2015) receive much more attention by emerging technological and polytechnic universities shifting the economic growth, social and cultural landscape in their host city. …”
