Resumen:
Several Latin American countries, among them Argentina, develop nanoscience and nanotechnology to improve scientific competences and economic competitiveness despite the low-to-moderate levels of R&D investment and recurrent lack of infrastructure and equipment. In order to promote nanoscience and nanotechnology, several R&D policy measures have lately been launched in Argentina, a country with an important scientific tradition, spending around 0.5% of its GDP in R&D, and with 73500 researchers, postgraduate students and technicians producing approximately 6000 papers each year (according to Science Citation Index). These measures, as well as different research strategies, attempt to deal mainly with that lack of infrastructure and equipment, an obstacle for the local development of the field.
