Lesi siqeshana siyingxenye yochungechunge lwebhulogi lapho amalungu e-ISC's IKomidi Lenkululeko Nokuzibophezela Kwesayensi (i-CFRS) yabelana ngokucabanga kwayo mayelana ne Thembela kuSayensi ye-Nexus Yenqubomgomo umbiko, okhishwe ngemva komhlangano wokucobelelana ngolwazi obuhlelwe ngokubambisana yi-International Science Council (ISC) kanye ne-Joint Research Centre ye-European Commission, ngokubambisana noxhaso lwe-US National Science Foundation.
Umhlangano wokucobelelana ngolwazi uhlanganise ochwepheshe ukuze bahlole ukuguquguquka okuyinkimbinkimbi kokwethenjwa kwesayensi ekwenziweni kwenqubomgomo futhi kucutshungulwe umbuzo obalulekile: ngokwezinga elingakanani ukwethemba isayensi ngenqubomgomo kungahlukaniswa emibuzweni ebanzi yokwethenjwa ezikhungweni zentando yeningi?
Mayelana umbhali: UDkt. Jorge A. Huete-Pérez okwamanje unguprofesa wokufundisa ku-Science, Technology and International Affairs Program (STIA) e-Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service eGeorgetown University. UnguNobhala Wezangaphandle we-Academy of Sciences of Nicaragua futhi uyilungu le-ISC Committee for Freedom and Responsibility in Science.
Emazweni abuthakathaka ngokwentando yeningi, ukwethemba isayensi akunakuhlukaniswa nokwethemba izikhungo zentando yeningi. Lapho ohulumeni besebenzisa noma becindezela ulwazi lwesayensi ngezinjongo zezepolitiki, abagcini nje ngokuqeda ukwethemba komphakathi kwisayensi kodwa futhi nezisekelo zokubusa okusekelwe ebufakazini. Okuhlangenwe nakho kweNicaragua kubonisa ukuthi ubuqotho besayensi buba kanjani insika ebalulekile, futhi evame ukuba sengozini, yempilo yentando yeningi.
Ngesikhathi sobhubhane lwe-COVID-19, uhulumeni wakhetha ukuphika kanye nobudedengu kunokuveza obala kanye nokuziphendulela. Iziphathimandla zangazinaki iziqondiso zomhlaba wonke, zalahla ubunzima benkinga, futhi zanciphisa ukufinyelela kwedatha yezempilo. Ososayensi ababengabaza lezi zinqubomgomo bathuliswa noma bahlaziswa. Kulesi simo, ukuzethemba komphakathi ezikhungweni zesayensi kwaba yinto engenakuhlukaniswa nokungazethembi okukhulu ezikhungweni zikahulumeni. Ukungabikho kwedatha esemthethweni ethembekile kwandise ulwazi olungelona iqiniso, ukudideka kanye nokwesaba.
Phakathi nalesi simo sokucindezelwa, i-Academy of Sciences yezwe, kanye neminye imiphakathi yesayensi, bavele njengezibani zobuqotho kanye nenkonzo yomphakathi. Lezi zinhlangano zavikela inkululeko yesayensi kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo wokuziphatha naphezu kwengcindezi enkulu yezepolitiki kanye nengozi yomuntu siqu. Ngokukhipha ukuhlaziywa okuzimele ngempilo yomphakathi, ukusimama kwemvelo kanye nemfundo, babonise ukuthi isayensi ethembekile ayisekelwe kuphela ekunembeni kobuchwepheshe kodwa futhi nasesibindini sokuziphatha kanye nokuziphendulela emphakathini.
Ukuzibophezela kwe-Academy ekuthembekeni kwesayensi kwangaphambi kobhubhane. Umzuzu obalulekile wafika ngo-2014, ngesikhathi sezingxoxo ngeProjekthi ye-Interoceanic Canal ehlongozwayo, intuthuko enkulu eyethulwa njengenye indlela esikhundleni sePanama Canal. Uhulumeni wanikeza izimvume ezinkulu zephrojekthi eyayisongela iLake Cocibolca, indawo yokugcina amanzi ahlanzekile enkulu kunazo zonke ezweni, kanye nezindawo ezinkulu zezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo. I-Academy yenze futhi yasakaza ukuhlolwa okuzimele kwesayensi okwembula umonakalo ongaba khona wemvelo kanye nomphakathi wephrojekthi. Naphezu kobutha obusemthethweni, lokhu kuveza obala kwatholela i-Academy inhlonipho yomphakathi kabanzi futhi kwajulisa ukuqashelwa kwesayensi yizakhamuzi njengento enhle yomphakathi.
Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kubonisa ukuthi ukwethemba isayensi kuyachuma lapho ososayensi benza ngobuqotho, ngisho nangaphandle kokuvikelwa kwezikhungo. Emazweni entando yeningi abuthakathaka, lapho ukulawulwa kwezepolitiki kungaphambukisa kalula izindaba zesayensi, izikole ezizimele, amanyuvesi kanye nokusebenzisana kwamazwe ngamazwe kuyizibaluli ezibalulekile zeqiniso kanye nokuziphendulela.
Lezi zifundo zigcizelela ukuthi ukukhulisa ukwethembana kwisayensi kudinga okungaphezu kokubhekana nokwaziswa okunganembile—kudinga ukuvikela ukuzimela kwesayensi uqobo. Lapho ososayensi besekela ukucaca, ukungakhethi kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo, abagcini nje ngokuvikela ukwethenjwa kwabo kodwa futhi nezindinganiso zentando yeningi ezisekela umphakathi onolwazi.
