The internationalization and universality of science is fundamental, as Louis Pasteur already illustrated to us in the 19th century in his famous phrase: “Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity.” This implies that scientists and researchers carry out our work in a global competitive context, although we are greatly influenced by the resources and management mechanisms of the different science and innovation systems. Those of us who develop our research activity abroad know this first-hand, who are exposed to different models and realities, and who follow with great interest and hope the evolution of the Spanish System of Science, Technology and Innovation, especially at this time. historic where global challenges, such as the pandemic and climate change, have put the necessary focus on science and innovation as a driver of social development.
