Este estudo busca compreender de maneira retrospectiva como ocorreu o ciclo do programa Ciência sem Fronteiras (CsF) ao considerá-lo uma política pública intersetorial. Para tal, tem como objetivo: descrever a intersetorialidade do CsF enquanto uma política de estímulo à ciência, tecnologia e inovação, uma política educacional e uma política de redução de desigualdades; investigar a formulação, a organização e a gestão do CsF; e verificar como foi a implementação do programa. A partir do estudo de caso do CsF, realiza uma revisão da literatura de políticas públicas, além da apuração de trabalhos empíricos, de informações governamentais e da repercussão midiática sobre o programa. Conclui que embora o programa tenha tido falhas, o seu fim representou um retrocesso no desenvolvimento brasileiro pelo regresso ao incentivo à inovação e por retirar as oportunidades de inclusão social.

To do so, it set as goals: to describe the intersectoriality of the program as a stimulus to science, technology and innovation policy, as an educational policy, and as a reduction of social inequalities; to investigate the formulation, organization and management of the program; and to observe the process of implementation.From a case study of the CsF, a review of the public policies literature was made, as well as a canvass of empiric surveys, governmental information and media repercussion about the program.

Currently, advanced materials are a source of the interest for private sector, since they are regarded as the foundation for the promotion of technology-based innovation and, also, because they have the potential to add value and competitive differential. Considering the efforts of the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications, which has established advanced materials as a priority, this work presents an analysis of the most important international public policies in the field of advanced materials, thus identifying their main characteristics, tendencies and priorities, with intent of subsidizing the devising of a National Plan for Advanced Materials in Brazil.

Abstract. Women have a minority position within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and, consequently, are likely to face more adversities at work. This diary study takes a look at a facilitating factor for women’s research performance within academia: daily work engagement. We examined the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between two behaviors (i.e., daily networking and time control) and daily work engagement, as well as its effect on the relationship between daily work engagement and performance measures (i.e., number of publications). Results suggest that daily networking and time control cultivate men’s work engagement, but daily work engagement is beneficial for the number of publications of women. The findings highlight the importance of work engagement in facilitating the performance of women in minority positions.
