SPIN is a new and revolutionary tool for decision-makers and STI policy experts, developed by the Science Policy Programmeof the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science in Latin America and the Caribbean.

SPIN is therefore part of a regional information strategy that combines this platform with the new Series of Science Policy Studies and Documents in LAC (Vol. I and II available on www.unesco.org.uy and –of course- on SPIN). + + http://spin.unesco.org.uy/
