Summary
The relationship between Argentinean scientific and technological research and the national science policy: towards a new paradigm
The aim of the scientific research is to obtain new knowledge that could eventually contribute to the technological development of countries. During the twentieth century Bernardo Houssay and a small group of pioneers created the Argentine Association for the Advancement of the Sciences (AAPC). Finally, in 1958 the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET) was founded. These institutions allowed thousand of researchers to investigate “full time” in different areas of the knowledge. In this work the development of the mentioned institutions are analyzed from a historical point of view and several technological considerations are commented.
Key words: scientific research, technology, scientific development
