Vision
RESEARCH / FOCAL AREAS
Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Governance
We aim to advance research on opening scientific practices and the design of Science, Technology, and Innovation Policies to broader stakeholder engagement. This objective is driven by the emergence of new frameworks for policy implementation—most notably the ‘normative turn.’ This shift toward greater directionality focuses policies and projects on specific societal challenges, necessitating deeper integration between knowledge producers, users, and beneficiaries. As a result, the processes for resource allocation and management are undergoing profound transformations; this Focal Area investigates these shifts and their implications for inclusive innovation
Objectives
We explore several interconnected themes, with a primary but not exclusive focus on health-related research and innovation. This research examines how to effectively organize the participation of diverse communities in the governance of research, specifically regarding the definition of research priorities. Furthermore, we analyze the implications for policy definition and evaluation within Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) strategies that are centered on addressing major challenges, such as mission-oriented policies, transformative innovation, “one health” strategies, and global well-being. Finally, our work considers the ethical and organizational consequences arising from the application of Artificial Intelligence within these systems.
