In the last decade, the federalization of science and technology (S&T) has established itself as a key force in Argentina, both in the agenda and the policy discourses for the area. However, the concept of federalization is, to a certain extent, vague and has sometimes been used ambiguously. Based on a review of previous academic studies, institutional documents and expressions of different actors, this article aims at organizing the most common ideas on this topic, especially those that arose out of debates during the last decade. In this context, two different approaches are distinguished: deconcentration and decentralization. This distinction can be useful when defining and clarifying lines of action to establish integrated S&T policies at a national, regional and provincial level.
