PROGRAMA CIÊNCIA SEM FRONTEIRAS: um retrospecto da política de estímulo à ciência, tecnologia e inovação

Abstract

This study sought to understand retrospectively how the cycle of the program Science Without Border (CsF) took place, by analyzing it as an intersectoral public policy. To do so, it set as goals: to describe the intersectoriality of the program as a stimulus to science, technology and innovation policy, as an educational policy, and as a reduction of social inequalities; to investigate the formulation, organization and management of the program; and to observe the process of implementation.From a case study of the CsF, a review of the public policies literature was made, as well as a canvass of empiric surveys, governmental information and media repercussion about the program. The conclusion was, besides the program’s flaws, its abrupt end represented a kickback to the Brazilian development, due to the withdrawal of the incentives to innovation and opportunities of social inclusion.
