knowledge, innovation, social inclusion, development, research policiesAbstract
The why and for what a given society should devote efforts to research and to innovation are changing; a new central perspective is growing which posit that vulnerable sectors should be the direct target of such efforts, having as well voice in its orientation. After justifying this assertion, the paper analizes some approaches around the articulation between knowledge, innovation and social inclusion, showing its differences and in occasions divergences. Some theoretical approaches that help understanding these articulations are analyzed, as well as a specific experience of research policy in the Universidad de la República, Uruguay, aimed at fostering them.
