National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT) It won’t go away As part of an initiative Public Act I Humanities, Technologies, and Innovation (HCTI) which President López Obrador sent to the House of Representatives in December 2022.
Raimundo Espinosa, Head of CONACYT’s Legal Affairs Unit, denied this intention in the face of voices warning against it. This institution seeks to disappearas well Public research centers.
By participating in the Conacyt – IPN Forum on the initiative to Common law on HCTIsaid the project official The title is fully thought out on its legal nature and skills as a sector leader.
“CONACYT does not disappear, if there is a complete title of CONACYT, it does not disappear. In this title you will find the legal nature of CONACYT, the competence, that is, the set of powers that CONACYT has, the powers that it has, not only in terms of the guidelines of the national HCTI policy , but also the role of CONACYT that it assumes in the chaplain’s book these issues as part of the state itself, but also the powers that CONACYT has as coordinator or as head of the sector, as they call it.
Likewise, the lawyer for CONACYT indicated that the new law seeks to be Science products are rights not as commodities.
“It is no longer designed to understand science or the products of science or technological developments as commodities, but rather as commodities. It’s a completely different logic and it’s not how it came up there either because it’s not a transition to communism, and it’s not like that, it’s simply the setting of order where there is no order and the state takes over that It’s a policy on an issue fundamental to the well-being of the people of Mexico.”
while, María Elena Alvarez-Bela Roces, CONACYT General ManagerThey confirmed that before 2018 they were funded from public resources Special projects that simulate research and technology development that left the scientific community penniless.
“In this context, a new policy is being developed in the field of humanities, science, technology and innovation that breaks the neoliberal model that allowed the use of millions of dollars in public resources to finance private projects that simulate research and development without any scientific meaning, much less humanitarian. The entire scientific community without a single weight for the development of basic science, for example, in 2017 and 2018.
The official added that Social sciences are part of scientific workbecause they are a guide that governs their work.
“When science is an eminent human undertaking, and so it emerges from the social spheres and when it emerges from the social spheres, it is necessary that we turn to the social sciences, and give us a clue as to what social and humanistic guidelines should govern our work and ethics for example. Can science without Ethics can generate weapons of mass destruction, and it can generate tools of manipulation through modern smart technologies. Therefore, the social context and this is manifested in the law with epistemological justice, equality between disciplines and the promotion of strategic national programs, always with a social component.
CONACYT authorities defended the Common Law Initiative on HCTI By saying that the alerts about the project It is a disinformation campaign.
Denying that it is an ideological issue because it is one of the rights of the population, They refused to seek to eliminate support for students and academicsbecause trust is now prohibited and support is delivered directly.
