description This paper explains the advancement achieved in a theoretical analytical work, developed to create a convergent framework between social studies of science and technology and the economics of innovation and technological change. It is shown here the ontological, epistemological and theoretical possibilities of convergence between both trajectories, on the basis of a special selection of contributions related to social studies of technology (Actor Network Theory, social construction of technology and socio-technical analysis) and neo-Schumpeterian evolutionary economics oriented to complex systems. These include theoretical advances made by Latin American scholars that seek to interpret and explain problems of innovation, technological change and structural change taking into account the peculiarities of the region. The different analytical moments carried out are explained, as well as their implications: ontological (non deterministic dynamic conceptions), epistemological (inter-ontology crossover), theoretical (“good theory”) and general and specific approach dimensions under assumptions of midrange theories. As a result it is provided the basis of convergence and their assumptions that will allow the construction of a hybrid research program oriented to innovation problems, technological change and structural change in Latin America. It is explained their relevant hybrid research agenda: studies about socio- technical dynamics, studies about socio-technical trajectory and studies about socio-technical configurations and articulations. Finally, in line with the Latin American traditional thought on science, technology and society, the program proposes the creation of an emergent space of articulating policies to promote multidimensional development (economic growth, social inclusion and sustainability)
