Initiative overview
The idea of identifying and strengthening the contribution of science, technology, knowledge, and innovation to the country's challenges is one of the five proposals of the CNIDs National Innovation Strategy of May 2017, and an axis of the governments innovation policy. With the aim of drawing up an agenda that can be translated into specific public policies in the second half of 2018, a participatory process was implemented in order to generate an Agenda for Research, Development and Innovation (R+D+I) associated with the challenge of the technological revolution. In its first phase, a diverse spectrum of experts on different edges of the challenge were interviewed to gather from them -and their worlds- the main perceptions of how population aging can be understood, assumed and opened possibilities for Chile. With their contributions, a first report was drafted that served as a base document for a workshop held with a group of actors that included interviewees and added others. The objective of this workshop was to enrich a first text in its two categories: i) vision and understanding of the challenge and ii) dimensions involved. Part of this work was also to visualise opportunities for Chile, an issue that was addressed in a second workshop in a more dedicated and profound way. The purpose of this report is to offer the final results of this Commission so that they can be a contribution to the design and implementation of public policies in science, technology, knowledge and innovation.The initiative has the following objectives:To transform the country's challenges of an ageing population, technological revolution and climate change into an agenda of concrete and relevant public financial instruments to boost research, development, and innovation.
