This paper presents considers about the transformations required into the Iberoamerican society to become a knowledge society, based on the construction of technical, technological and techno-scientific culture, in addition to required transformations in the State and the attitude of the citizens. These transformations and mechanisms will allow to built scientific-technological social systems, which include the systems and processes where knowledge is generated; the mechanisms that allow knowledge be socially benefited to satisfy different social sectors demands; and ethical and moral evaluation of consequences derived for those people affected, both in a positive or negative way.
