摘要

It has the world's 11th-biggest economy and is home to the largest university in the Western Hemisphere. But for all that, Mexico has had surprisingly little influence on global science output and innovation. Its annual rates of patents and spending on science lie below those of Brazil, its chief Latin American competitor. But when Enrique Pena Nieto was sworn in as president last December, he promised to grease the rusty wheels of Mexico's science and technology infrastructure. And one year in, he has started to deliver. On 13 November, the Mexican Congress approved a 20% rise in the 2014 budget of the National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT) in Mexico City, the country's main research funding agency. Congress increased the country's overall science budget by 12%, to 82 billion pesos (US$6.3 billion). Pena Nieto is also pushing several other pieces of legislation through the pipeline: an intellectual-property bill that would allow researchers and universities to commercialize their publicly funded work; a bill that would reform the academic retirement system and encourage talented young researchers to stay in Mexico; and tax breaks that could incentivize private investment in research and development.
