Abstract

Since the mid-1980s, Spanish science policy has taken account of the need to establish mechanisms to promote the social utility of the knowledge produced by the academic community. This has affected both the funding of scientific activities and the recruitment and promotion of scientists as well as their individual incentives, but always within a general approach and considering the specific aspects of STEM and not SSH. The choice was made to broaden the mechanisms enabling knowledge transfer and knowledge exchange to allow all areas to develop their own plans for the dissemination and social use of knowledge. However, although science policy includes humanities and social sciences, policy mechanisms are not always aligned to their particularities and their role is often not visible to society.
