Abstract
O artigo objetiva caracterizar as redes de interação entre atores - grupos de pesquisa e organizações - da área da saúde humana no Rio Grande do Sul. As redes foram elaboradas pelo método da Social Network Analysis com dados do DGP/CNPq para os anos de 2010, 2014 e 2016. Verificou-se que tanto o número de grupos de pesquisa quanto das interações cresceram ao longo desse período. A maioria dos grupos de pesquisa, no entanto, interage com apenas um parceiro. Logo, mais atores ingressam nas redes ao longo do tempo, mas pouco interagem entre si. Essa característica identificada é típica de sistemas inovativos de países emergentes, cujas interações são escassas. Existem semelhanças entre as redes dos anos analisados (como a relevância de alguns atores centrais e das empresas como atores periféricos), mas também há aspectos que as diferenciam (as universidades se destacam como parceiras no período mais recente). No que diz respeito às proximidades, as proximidades geográficas e organizacionais são destacadas como conceitos importantes para explicar as interações entre os diferentes atores.
Highlights
Academic research has gone through several changes in the last few decades
The main determinants for this increase are the specialization, interdisciplinarity and complexity of science nowadays (OLECHNICKA; PLOSZAJ; CELIŃSKA-JANOWICZ, 2019). These determinants are critical for research in the human health area, which is the focus of this paper
The generation of knowledge and innovation is triggered by interactions among several agents, engaging multidisciplinary teams that interact in systematic processes of learning by doing and learning by interacting (METCALFE; JAMES; MINA, 2005; WINDRUM; GARCÍA-GOÑI, 2008; CONSOLI; MINA, 2009; MORLACCHI; NELSON, 2011; NELSON et al, 2011)
Summary
Academic research has gone through several changes in the last few decades. The main aspect to th ese changes is a great increase in collaborative research and the formation of research teams, which establish the standard for research activity (ARCHIBUGHI; FILLIPETTI, 2015). The main determinants for this increase are the specialization, interdisciplinarity and complexity of science nowadays (OLECHNICKA; PLOSZAJ; CELIŃSKA-JANOWICZ, 2019) These determinants are critical for research in the human health area, which is the focus of this paper. Networks structured by multiple agents are the typical organization means to generate knowledge and carry out innovative processes in the health area in an evolutionary process. In this context, our goal is to analyze the research groups’ interaction networks in the health sciences area in Rio Grande do Sul by examining the key actors in the process of knowledge generation and diffusion and determining their location. The final considerations are in the last part of this paper
