STS in Portugal between 2003 and 2021

Abstract

STS studies have evolved in an extraordinary way in Portugal between 1995, when physicist José Mariano Gago became the first holder of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the present day. Here I briefly analyze the change of scenery in this sector that has occurred in the almost twenty years since, in 2003, the first issue of Revista Ibero-americana de Ciência, Tecnología e Sociedad —CTS was published. The fact that numerous official Portuguese statistics are now gathered in PORDATA – Base de Dados de Portugal Contemporâneo, created in 2010 by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation, greatly facilitated this work of synthesis, just as it facilitates the work of anyone who wants to, at any time, get to know the evolution of Portugal in this or other areas, making it possible to compare the national situation with that of other countries that are also part of the European Union.
