La ciencia española en la última década

Resumen

espanolDe 1982 a 1992, el gasto espanol en I+D paso de 96.000 a 530.000 millones de pesetas, correspondiendo a una inversion del doble en terminos del PIB. Los resultados de este aumento en la inversion han sido espectaculares. El aumento de la produccion cientifica en Espana ha sido desproporcionadamente mayor del ocurrido en el resto del mundo. Asi, la produccion cientifica representaba en 1984 menos del 1 por 100 de la produccion mundial y en 1992 aumento al 2 por 100. No obstante, si Espana quiere alcanzar el nivel cientifico de los paises de la UE tendra que seguir aumentando su tasa de inversion. EnglishSpanish expenditure on R+D from 1982 to 1992 rose from 96.000 to 530.000 million pesetas, amounting to more than double the investment in terms of GDP. The results of this increased investment have been spectacular. The rise in scientific production in Spain has been disproportionately greater than in the rest of the world. Thus, scientific production in 1984 accounted for less than one per cent of world production, whereas in 1992 it rose to two per cent. Nevertheless, if Spain wishes to attain the scientific level of the EU countries, it will have to continue to increase its rate of investment until it is double the present rate.
