| Sumario: | This article analyzes the relationship between governance and the right to science in Argentina’s public research system, focusing on changes to the CONICET scholarship system between 1983 and 2024. The central research question is: How have governance processes at CONICET promoted or limited the effective exercise of the right to science, particularly through scholarship policies as a tool for human resource development? Historical and conceptual analysis constitutes the study’s methodology, contrasting institutional changes and policies implemented in each period. The article argues that, despite the quantitative expansion of the scholarship system (notable between 2003 and 2017), structural violations persist. The most significant of these lies in job insecurity: the stipend system denies basic labor rights (such as bonuses and social security contributions), thus violating the notion of the interdependence of human rights. Other tensions include the restriction of intellectual autonomy due to the broad degrees of discretion in relation to the director’s authority and the lack of representation of fellows in the functioning and design of the instrument at CONICET. |
