  3. Carlos J. Finlay Tomás Romay Pedro Kourí Cuban scientific and technological development was practically inexistent before 1959. ONLY INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITIES:

  4. “... The future of our homeland must necessarily be a future of men of sciences, a future of men of thought ...” Fidel Castro Ruz, 1960

  5. Today: Before 1959: • 1 million illiterates • 0,93 % GDP devoted to S&T activities • 0,5 researchers with category / 1000 inhabitants • Exists more of 1,9 scientific and engineers / 1000 inhabitants • 220 institutions devoted to S&T (>37 000 people) • 115 are research institutes • More of 65 High Education Centers (> 20 000 professors with higher degrees). Local universities (SUM) • 0,8 PhD / 1000 inhabitants • No research centres (only 4 experimental stations with less than 100 researchers) • No programs of S+T supported by government or enterprises • Only 3 Universities

  6. MINISTRY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT It is part of the State’s Central Administration and its contributes to achieve sustainable development in Cuba integrate Science, Technology and the protection of the Environment

  7. Assimilation of International Technologies and Knowledges Development of our own Human Potential Answering for our developing Generation of our own technologies CUBAN SCIENTIFIC POLICY PILLARS INTEGRATION

  8. CUBAN SYSTEM OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION An organizational form through the one scientific and technological policy is materialized

  26. Elements of Integration of our Science and Technological and Innovation System

  27. 3 MM RESULTS 1990 1994 1999 2000 2004 FCT ANIR Science and Technique Forum is a massive movement that contributes to the integration of Science and Technology in entities as enterprises, hospitals, hotels, schools, and others, by principles of INTEGRATION COOPERATION and OVERCROWDING National Innovators and Rationalizators Association has the role of contributing to foment the innovative culture and its practice in a massive way, mainly incremental innovations. IN MORE OF 230 000 ENTITIES 37 500 RESULTS HAS BEEN OBTAINED

  28. DEMAND OFFER 15 Scientific Poles distributed over all our country THEMATICS: Biotechnology, Social Sciences, Industrial Local o territorial Polos: In each one of our provinces and dedicated to give answer of main priorities of provinces

  29. MAIN RESULTS OBTAINED (in our Scientific Poles) IMPORTANT SOLUTIONS OF MAIN THEMATICS PROBLEMS AND OTHERS OF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AN EFFECTIVE MECHANISM OF INTEGRATION A DIFFERENT WAY OF: • MAKE SCIENCE • GENERATE AND DEAL NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES • OBTAIN GOODS FOR OUR SOCIETY

  37. Recognition and support to the activity given by the State when prioritizing , financing, and promoting it The statistical system of indicators is developed and it advances more every moment. It is being used better in the mensuration of the contributions of science to the well-being of people. The development, during these years, of such tools for the decision and guide of the work has allowed us to install some capacities in our country which must be considered and used. CONCLUSIONS OUR SCIENTIFIC AND TECNOLOGICAL POLICY HAS PERMITTED:

  38. PROPOSITIONS: • To create and to increase a Net of Indicators of Science and Technology of the NAM(and to direct it to guarantee the exchange of information, the conformation of databases, the elaboration of statistical indicators, according with of the countries members characteristics as well as their technological and scientific demands) • To create a work group as a result of the Conference to carry out and to present a conclusive study, before the beginning of the second semester of the year 2007, about the convenience of creating the Office of Transfer of Technology of the NAM which it is accepted would work with their own norms and in benefit of all the countries members

  39. PROPOSITIONS: • To develop during the year 2007 the International Conference ¨Energy, Innovation and Sustainable" among the countries members of the NAM, the enterprises which could be considered for their contribution to the thematic , directed to exchange on about technologies of energy saving and elevation of the energy efficiency; and the development of Renewable Energy sources and Alternative Fuels • To create in the current center (NAM S&T Center) an entity for the Innovation, which will be in charge of developed the idea to employ the Technological Cooperated Parks, among the countries members, the incubators of enterprises and other structures to energize the innovation

  40. Science is to know the opportunity and take advantage of it, is to make what it be suited to our town with our sacrifice and not to make what to be suited to us, with our town's sacrifice. José Martí
