Through a comparative study of ideas in policy for science, technology and innovation (STI), my research interrogates the concepts that get inserted in such policies and that propagate across countries. I explore how these global concepts are reformulated within countries and are transformed through national strategies and initiatives showing the entangled ways in which global ideas are co-constructed locally. I am particularly interested in the political effects of advisory groups in STI policymaking and the values that guide policy action.
