| Sumario: | This essay proposes a reflection on the role of Argentine universities and the national Science and Technology (S&T) system of which they are part. We are interested in exploring three key aspects and the particularities under which this role is manifested in the Argentine case, when addressing the challenges of development. First, the institutional framework on which the university system is based, which is part of the national S&T system and which concentrates most of the scientific-technological activity produced in the country. Secondly, the incentives and practices that shape the trajectories of the scientific and technological community, where S&T activities are combined with undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate teaching. Thirdly, the demand for knowledge, both in terms of the productive environment and that derived from social aspects and public policy. A virtuous "meshing" of these three aspects requires managing the characteristics and timing of each of the dimensions and generating a process of reform in the incentive schemes and institutional framework to ensure that the success stories, which today exist in isolation, multiply and articulate with the broader national system, which also encompasses non-traditional S&T functions. The post-COVID19 world opens a space for rethinking academic and training practices and modifying the structures of linkage and articulation of academia with society. |
