Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present and discuss science governance, what it encompasses and what challenges are most important today at national and global levels. The topic is approached from two dimensions: strict governance, which examines the internal canons of how science works; and expanded governance, which looks at the interfaces and interactions of science with society. Above all, it discusses what is changing in these dimensions and what impacts and initiatives have on “science institutions”. Topics such as open science, prioritization and selection biases, quality indicators, social engagement, mission-oriented research, among others, are discussed as the “spirit of the time” and its two-way effects on the strict and expanded governance of science. This discussion is extended to Brazil in its 200 years of Independence, posing some of the challenges that we will have to face.
