The Plan, sent by the Executive Branch, proposes a conceptual, programmatic and political journey with a view to designing a horizon for the scientific, technological and innovation sector in our country.
At the beginning of the meeting, the deputy Facundo Manes (UCR), head of the Commission, asked to set aside “the speculations, the chicanas, the intrigues of the Palace when we are faced with State policies.”
Regarding the National Science, Technology and Innovation Plan 2030, he explained that it was prepared by the Ministry of Science, voted unanimously by the Senate and sent to the Lower House. “In this Commission we dealt with it carefully, we called two informative meetings and experts from all over the country participated,” he added.
“We let the ministry know that, from our point of view, it could be improved before being sent to the compound,” Manes also said. Among other issues, it was requested to “define the missions and assign them responsible and precise actions to achieve the objectives of the Plan” and “a more robust connection with the productive and training systems”.
Likewise, the head of the Commission stated that “a productive dialogue channel was produced, from which the ministry introduced an appendix to the Plan with a series of additions that covered some of the deficits that we had indicated.” “Thanks to this exchange, today we have a Plan that serves as a road map and that will even allow a gradual and substantial improvement.”
In keeping with the electoral discussion on the role of the State, Manes maintained that “it is the States that promote research and plan and carry out scientific policies for technological development.”
“Preserving and supporting our scientists does not represent an expense, but the most valuable investment that a country can make. A country that neglects scientific research weakens and lags behind”, he maintained.
Meanwhile, the deputy Danya Tavela (Radical Evolution) accompanied the project “from the deep and individual conviction that planning, articulating and building consensus around clear and concrete objectives is to bring order.”
“If we take care of science and education there will be less poverty, less insecurity, we will have less inflation and less precariousness,” he argued.
From the block of the Frente de Todos, the deputy Mara Brawer admitted feeling “moved by what we are experiencing in this Commission.”
“We reached 40 years of democracy with a very weak democracy, with speeches that none of us thought we were going to hear again,” he warned. However, he celebrated that the Commission once again “rescues politics, consensus and we put back on axis what the fathers of democracy taught us.”
On the approved project, Brawer considered that “this Plan asks us to agree on the five perspectives that support our public policy.”
“We are at a moment where we have a candidate who says that we have to sell CONICET, from which came the development to prevent cancer, the aerospace development that we have, the satellites, which are the product of scientific and technological development,” argued Brawer.
