The IESCT has a sound experience in advising and consulting different agencies, both public and private as well as from the third sector, at national and regional level.

The priority is to assist R&D institutions and government agencies by expanding strategic design and implementation capabilities for Science and Technology (S&T) policies. The IESCT develops advisory, consulting, technical assistance and capacity building activities at regional, national, provincial, and municipal levels, as well as on public R&D units.

The analysis of the dynamics of production and use of scientific and technological knowledge is an essential task for the generation of inputs to optimize Science, Technology, Innovation and Development policies, and the strategies of local R&D institutions. The dissemination of generated knowledge about the relationship “Science – Technology – Society” is a key task to democratize the access to S&T decision-making processes.
