BLANCO RANGEL, Ibelis. THE SOCIAL EMPOWERMENT OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND INNOVATION AND THE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCIES. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.1, pp.179-189. ISSN 1657-8031.

Science, technology, and innovation are key elements for economic and social development in a country; however they are not a wide discussion topic from international cooperation for development. That is why, bearing in mind the importance that the transmission and the massification of that knowledge have gained, and which is proposed by Colciencias through the social empowerment of science, technology, and innovation; it is interesting to know which contributions the institutions of international cooperation have had in Latin America, in broad terms, as well as the general potential challenges that Colombia has to face.

Keywords : Science; technology; innovation; social empowerment; international cooperation.
