While science, technology, and innovation are increasingly recognized as important factors in the economic transformation of developing countries, their prominence in development policy discussions is generally understated. The Science, Technology and Innovation Policy program at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government provides high-level leaders from government, academia, industry, and civil society with a unique opportunity to integrate science and technology into a national development policy. The program seeks to complement other strategies and measures adopted to align education and research activities with development goals.
