“…Por otra parte, habrá que superar los tradicionales problemas de articulación, tanto al interior del sistema científico-tecnológico como entre la política respectiva y las políticas económica (macro, meso y micro), comercial, energética, ambiental, etc., (Codner, Lugones y Porta, 2014;Baruj, Britto y Pereira, 2016), lo cual no es un problema de fácil resolución, pero, así y todo, resulta imperioso encarar. Todos los ejemplos disponibles a nivel internacional de casos nacionales exitosos de catchingup tecnológico, desarrollo acelerado y cambio estructural (Suecia a partir de fines del siglo XIX, Japón, Corea del Sur y Noruega desde la década de 1960, Australia y Nueva Zelanda en la segunda mitad del siglo XX y, desde luego, China en las últimas décadas) revelan trayectorias en donde el papel del Estado, las políticas activas y la planificación (o la coordinación por parte de las Agencias Gubernamentales) para una mayor eficiencia de las mismas ha sido una constante.…”

Las funciones tradicionales de las UUNN (docencia, investigación y extensión) se han visto, en los últimos años, enfrentadas a nuevas demandas y han sufrido cambios importantes en un proceso que no se ha detenido, sino que augura un crecimiento permanente de las demandas por parte de la sociedad. a la par con la creciente importancia del conocimiento en la vida económica. Esto implica un crecimiento exponencial de oportunidades, posibilidades, expectativas y, en consecuencia, responsabilidades para las instituciones universitarias. Dicha situación ha llevado a asumir un mayor protagonismo y diversificar sus funciones abarcando un campo de actuación más amplio y complejo, con el que han ampliado sus actividades, sus compromisos y su visibilidad y presencia en la sociedad. La relevancia del conocimiento como factor competitivo y su impacto en el desarrollo de las naciones y el bienestar de la sociedad refuerza la importancia de incrementar la apropiabilidad social de los resultados de las actividades desarrolladas por el campo científico. En base a esto, este trabajo explora el potencial que tienen las universidades de asumir un nuevo rol para catalizar procesos de apropiación de conocimiento, convirtiéndose así en Agencias de Desarrollo.

R&D incentives are a popular policy option to encourage private R&D worldwide. This paper provides an updated survey of R&D incentives’ effect on private R&D investment, including evaluations from developing countries. It assesses the pattern of R&D incentives, and reviews recent literature on the efficacy of these incentives. It reveals that R&D incentives generally increase private R&D, but to a varying extent depending on incentive types, countries’ income levels, industry and firm characteristics, and the design and implementation of the incentives. Overall, variability of the effect on private R&D is greater for direct incentives than indirect incentives. The effect of indirect incentives is found to be smaller in developing countries than developed countries, contrary to the predictions of growth theory. This paper investigates the potential reasons for these findings and summarizes policy implications for governments considering upgrading or adopting R&D incentives.

Purpose This paper aims to discuss the emergence of science, technology and innovation (STI) institutions in Indonesia during the Dutch East Indies colonial period in 1778–1941. The emergence of these institutions reflected the dynamics of science and technology development and innovation in that era. Design/methodology/approach This paper navigates a historiographical approach. Data collection techniques use “secondary data research,” with archival investigation published by official sources in the Dutch East Indies in the 18th and 19th centuries as well as other reference sources, and data analysis techniques use “supplementary analysis.” Findings This research indicates that the STI institution during the Dutch East Indies colonial period was formed to maximize the natural resources of the Dutch East Indies. The STI institution at that time was constructed as part of Buitenzorg’s Plantentuin the lands, plantations, solutions for health, astronomy, geology, forestry and culture. Research limitations/implications The limitations of this research, as well as future research. Relying too much on “secondary data” is a limitation of this study. Therefore, it is necessary to collect primary data through in-depth interviews with historical scientists studying STIs in Indonesia in future research. Originality/value This study, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, considered the first study, reveals the dynamics of STI in Indonesia during the Dutch East Indies colonial era by examining the dynamics of the institution. In addition, this study succeeded in dividing five institutional STI clusters in the Dutch East Indies Colonial period 1778–1941, namely, units/institutions formed as part of Planuntungin te Buitenzorg; units/institutions formed based on plantations, initiated by private plantations to find solutions to the pests and diseases that attack their crops; units/institutions formed to seek solutions in the health sector; units/institutions formed based on astronomy, geology and forestry; and units/ institutions regarded as scientific councils/associations.
