NgoSepthemba 2024, i-International Science Council (ISC), ngokubambisana ne-European Commission's Joint Research Center kanye noxhaso oluhlanganyelwe oluvela ku-US National Science Foundation, yabamba umhlangano wokucobelelana ngolwazi othi “Ukuthembela Kwesayensi Yenqubomgomo Nexus”. Umcimbi uhlanganise ochwepheshe ukuze bahlole ukuguquguquka okuyinkimbinkimbi kokuthembela kwesayensi ekwenziweni kwenqubomgomo, nokubhekana nombuzo obalulekile: ngabe izindaba zokwethenjwa kwesayensi ngenqubomgomo zingahlukaniswa kangakanani emibuzweni ebanzi yokwethenjwa ezikhungweni zentando yeningi?
NgoMeyi 2025, ozakwethu bakhiphe umbiko owumphumela, Thembela kuSayensi ye-Nexus Yenqubomgomo. Iveza izinselelo ezibalulekile futhi iphakamisa amasu okuqinisa ukwethembana phakathi kososayensi, abenzi bezinqubomgomo, kanye nomphakathi - ikakhulukazi esimeni esimakwa ngokudelela, ulwazi olungalungile, kanye nolwazi olunganembile.
Amalungu e-ISC IKomidi Lenkululeko Nokuzibophezela Kwesayensi (i-CFRS) manje isinikeza ukucabanga kwayo ngombiko ochungechungeni lwezicucu zemicabango. Umsebenzi wabo ukusekela izimiso ezisekela isayensi njenge okuhle komphakathi emhlabeni jikelele - kufaka phakathi i- ilungelo lomuntu lokubamba iqhaza nokuzuza kusayensi – iqondana eduze nezindikimba ezihloliwe ngesikhathi somhlangano wokucobelelana ngolwazi. Iminikelo yabo iletha i-nuance eyengeziwe kanye nemibono evela emikhakheni ehlukene nasezifundeni.

Izikhungo zentando yeningi - lezo ezenza kuthuthukiswe isayensi (okusho ukukhiqizwa kolwazi ngocwaningo olucophelelayo) - zibukelwa phansi isiko elikhulayo lokungahloniphi nokuqamba amanga. Ucwaningo lwakamuva lwe-OECD (2024) luthole ukuthi u-44% wezakhamizi kwisampula yocwaningo lwamazwe angama-30 "athembele kuhulumeni kazwelonke okuphansi noma awanakho". Inkinga iwukuthi nakuba sazi ukuthi izinhlelo zezeluleko zesayensi “ezisebenza kahle” ziholela “esimisweni semvelo sokwenza inqubomgomo,” ukwethenjwa ocwaningweni nakho kuyehla. Lokhu kubangela umbuzo: yini abacwaningi abangayenza ukuze bahlehlise lo mkhuba?
Okokuqala, sidinga ukuqaphela ukuthi inkululeko yezemfundo ayihloselwe ukuvikela umbono ngezihloko lapho singenabo ubuchwepheshe bocwaningo. Kunalokho, kuhloswe ngayo ukuvikela umcwaningi okhuluma ngalokho abakwaziyo ngenxa ye okwangempela ucwaningo abalwenzayo. Ukuvikela ubuqotho bocwaningo kanye nenqubo yocwaningo kubaluleke kakhulu. Ukwethembeka nekusasa lengqalasizinda yethu yesayensi yomhlaba kuncike kithi njengabacwaningi ukuthi bacacelwe esikwaziyo ngenxa yocwaningo lwethu nesingakwazi.
Okwesibili, kufanele sakhe izinqubo zocwaningo ezibandakanya wonke umuntu ezimema ukubamba iqhaza komphakathi. Umphakathi uzizwa ukude nocwaningo ngoba bona kukhona kude nayo futhi ezimweni eziningi igcinwe kude nayo. Ucwaningo lusitshela ukuthi uma isayensi iqhelelene kakhulu, iyancipha ukwethenjwa kwayo. Amanyuvesi endawo anethuba lokwakha ukwethemba isayensi ngokwenza ubudlelwano obujulile nobunenjongo kakhudlwana nemiphakathi ebazungezile. Ukumema umphakathi ukuthi ubambe iqhaza ekukhiqizeni ngokubambisana kocwaningo ngokubuyekeza, lapho singakwazi khona, izinqubo zethu zocwaningo ukuze zihlanganise kakhulu amazwi amasha, imibono, kanye nemibono kunethuba lokuletha izinzuzo ezibalulekile. Izokwakha ubudlelwano obuqinile nobuthembeke kakhudlwana phakathi kocwaningo lwezemfundo nomphakathi futhi ikhulise umnotho wethu ngoba “Imiphakathi ethembeke kakhulu kanye neminotho ijwayele ukuhlotshaniswa nokuchuma”.
Okwesithathu, kubalulekile ukuthi thina, abacwaningi, sibonakale njengabadayisi abathembekile ababelana ngolwazi olusekelwe ebufakazini ngokunembe nangokungenaluthando ngangokunokwenzeka. Manje, sonke singabantu ngakho-ke izindinganiso esinazo zidlala indima emsebenzini esiwenzayo, kodwa umthwalo wethu njengabacwaningi usho ukuthi kufanele siqondiswe ubufakazi kanye nemiphumela yocwaningo.
Okokugcina, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi abasebenzi bakahulumeni abanayo inkululeko yokunquma ukuthi yini eba yinqubomgomo nokuthi yini engeyiyo. Emiphakathini yentando yeningi, lena indima kahulumeni okhethiwe. Njengabacwaningi, kufanele sisebenzisane nalolu hlelo ngokwenza ucwaningo lwethu lutholakale ukuze labo abathweswe icala lokwenza inqubomgomo bakwazi ukwenza izinqumo ezinhle nezinobufakazi. Uma sima siqinile njengabadayisi abathembekile abenze umsebenzi ophusile ngokubambisana nalabo abangaphandle kwesikole, sizokwakha kabusha futhi sandise ukwethembana ohlelweni locwaningo kanye nomphakathi wocwaningo. Yile ndlela esingazakha ngayo ukuzivikela okubucayi ngokumelene nesayensi-mbumbulu kanye nolwazi olungaqondile futhi siqinise izikhungo zethu zentando yeningi.
