Abstract
The analysis of the links between the production of scientific and technological knowledge and the addressing of social issues has become an increasingly important activity in the definition of public policies focused on the development of science, technology, and innovation. New questions guiding the actions of analysts and policymakers in the scientific field arise from concerns about the role that scientific and technological knowledge has played—and continues to play—in social and human development. What is the social utility of science and its achievements? Is it possible to determine the impact of the production and dissemination of new knowledge on social and cultural processes? Are science and technology addressing the most urgent needs of society? These questions do not admit of simplifications. The issue at hand is complex in nature, involving multiple factors with non-obvious causality.
