Description
About the series:
This series bridges the gap between academia and policymaking in Latin America. We invite you to join us live and hear politicians or policymakers talk about their concrete experiences in the design and implementation of STI and development policy. By analysing and contrasting those experiences, what has worked and what has not, we aim to derive lessons for future interventions in the region. The underlying motivation is to open windows of curiosity and future engagement possibilities in young researchers, thus breaking up the non-sensical, harmful, and wasteful barriers between the academic world and that of policy and public service
Coming up:
Former Argentine Minister of Productive Development, and now Professor at the Universidad Nacional de San Martín, Kulfas will discuss his experience as both an academic and policymaker in the Argentine context of productive development and technology policy. Please note this event will be in Spanish only.
Format: A 90-minute webinar interview, hosted by Prof Carlota Pérez with the participation of Prof. João Carlos Ferraz and open to post-graduate students and early career researchers. After the invited speakers make their reflections, the virtual floor is open for discussion.
