Abstract

The present work surveys on science, technology and innovation (CT&I) policies to understand the actions and projects developed by the Science, Technology and Inovation Secretary (SECTI) since its creation until 2019, using a qualitative, bibliographic, documentary approach. The programs are categorized using typologies of public policies of Science and Technology. Scientific and technological policies are seen as a key element for economic and social development. In Brazil, creation of a scientific and technological base began around the 1950s with the creation of institutions to support and finance science and technology policies, such as the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes). In Alagoas, SECTI is the institution responsible for coordinating, execution and addressing society demands regarding to CT&I in the state, even though it is not the main financier of this type of activity. It is responsible, for example, for the construction and development of the technological park, creation of events for dissemination of science and technology, and creation of infocenters in the cities of inland Alagoas. Analysis of the Pluriannual Plan shows that most of the policies developed by SECTI tends to evolutionary approach besides presenting elements of the Latin American approach of science and technology policies that aim to solve structural and social problems of the state.
