As from this area have always echoed the technological innovation policies and the various efforts of incentives for scientific and technological policy, we recommend reading it the entrance to Madrid I + D about , referring to the Budget for 2009: R & D budgets 2009.
A server is of the opinion that the only feasible means of production and economic progress is one that makes use of the technological advances of the first order. To have an efficient economy and an acceptable social welfare system, the only sound alternative is one based on the knowledge society and innovation. Therefore, in traditional patterns, cyclical change should emphasize major changes in education, science and technology. In a way, the University should be primarily a center for "knowledge and wisdom", not a nest of professionals, which does not mean that there is a university-market bilateral . Something which is in Spain occasionally, but that would add value to the training of students, and guide development of the country has to occur in how technology transfer from knowledge centers to businesses.
Science and Technology is not a matter of which speak in economic terms and demagogic. No matter how much you spend but how to budget, what expectations and academic and professional development will be given to these scientists, what job opportunities, economic stability and even social status. How to assess whether a science policy is efficient is to attend to number patents and contracts, international impact of publications.
The Seventh EU Framework Programme , 2007-2013, established a target of public spending on public programs of scientific research and technological € 53 billion to spend over 7 years. The main objective of European policy is to transfer public money in order to achieve the budget levels of the world powers, but in my opinion it is somewhat ineffective. No scientific quality until a reform of Universities and implement new educational methods that seek to maturity of the students .
In 2000, Japanese investment in R & D was ... (By GDP)
Japan: 3%
USA: 2.7%
EU-25: 1.8%
Nearly a decade later, Japan and U.S. investment have remained constant. China has made great efforts, reaching the EU level and internationally recognized universities. The EU-25 established by the Treaty of Lisbon reach ceiling of 2.6% in 2010.
In my opinion, the European attitude is a mediocrity. Science is a distance race. The great powers not only because they are ahead of us spend more money, but because they have long-term programs, with investments consolidated over time, because they are configured as poles that attract intellectual capital challenges for cause and enriching.
If the EU wants to be something in the XXI century should stop the demagoguery that prevails in this matter, to restructure its model of development, investing in knowledge, to attract professional and intellectual who can bring value to our society and especially if you want to compete, invest much more money than a raquítimo 2.6%.
