Abstract

Ibero-American countries are urgently seeking solutions to immediate challenges in education, infrastructure, innovation, the environment, health, and social well-being. For several decades, specialists in science, technology, and society (STS) across Ibero-America have debated the contribution of science and technology to transforming living conditions—that is, their impact on various spheres of regional societies. The First Ibero-American Congress on Science, Technology, Society, and Innovation (STS+I) made it clear that there is growing emphasis on the need to create specific spaces and conditions that allow the general public to play a meaningful role in the definition and monitoring of public policies. Citizen participation emerged as a unanimous concern and a cross-cutting theme in an event that, by bringing together over five hundred people from twenty-six Ibero-American countries, can be seen as a strong reflection of the current state of the field in the region.
