Abstract

The policies implemented for the science and technology sector during the government of President Mauricio Macri are analyzed, in the context of the neo-liberal development model that has driven its management. Focused on the export of raw materials and financial valuation, this model reformulated in fact the evolution of the sector. Ongoing projects in areas such as defense, satellite and nuclear were paralyzed and attempt to boost the development of the national technology industry were suspended. Data and indicators are presented that show the magnitude of the cuts made to the state investment in S&T, theloss of the real salary of the professionals of the sector and the deterioration in the working
conditions in the R&D activities, in a general framework of adjustment and shrinking of the State.
