Research And Technology DevelopmentResearch And Technology Development
An appropriate level of R&D investment requires a like correlation in the field of human resources
A sustained policy to guarantee the continuity of scientific and technological activities and soften the blow of economic fluctuations
We also need a better connection between scientific production and the social and economic demands of each country
The strengthening of regional cooperation and the integration of efforts in science and technology is an unavoidable challenge to build sufficient critical mass in various strategic areas
