The “Sustainability Science Paradigm”(New Social Contract of Science) and GOSPIN
• Effective STI policies are key to achieve SDGs and GOSPIN is an excellent monitoring tool for them.
• GOSPIN is a methodology for mapping information on STI policies, national STI ecosystems and their organizations, STI legal frameworks, policy instruments and indicators for providing evidence‐based policy analyses.
• GOSPIN performs capacity building activities, collects new information on STI policy, publishes country profiles, provides standard setting instruments (GOSPIN Manual) and today is launching a new tool: an online platform for STI policies’ information and for studying their impact on SDGs

Are we using the “appropriate indicators” to
understand how STI policies generate
effects on societies or to understand how “National Researchand Innovation Systems” work?Usually, we are groping in the dark
• Policy instruments are the means employed by those who exercise power and authority to influence the decisions made by other agents. • They induce and motivate individuals, groups, firms, organizations and institutions to behave in accordance with the guidelines and criteria established by the policies.• They are the connecting link between the purpose expressed in a policy statement and its implementation in practice.
Focal points from MemberStates will feed the platformthrough periodical surveys

Who provides the information?
UNESCO is organizing capacity building workshops to help Member States in the production of information on STI policies based on the GOSPIN methodological approach and is training national focal points to feed the new platform…
