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: U-Xuan Liu unguMqondisi we-Innovation Environment Institute e-National Academy of Innovation Strategy, i-China Association for Science and Technology (NAIS, CAST). Unesizinda sezemfundo kwisayensi yamakhompyutha, izifundo zokuxhumana, kanye ne-social psychology, kanye nemfundo eShayina nase-UK.
The Thembela kuSayensi ye-Nexus Yenqubomgomo Umbiko uhlaziya ngokuhlelekile isimo samanje samazwe ngamazwe mayelana nokwethemba isayensi futhi uphakamisa uchungechunge lwezinyathelo ezikhuthazayo, unikeza isiqondiso esisebenzayo sokuthuthukisa ukwethemba isayensi.
Ukungezwani phakathi kwentuthuko yesayensi kanye nokwethembana komphakathi kungumphumela ongenakugwenywa wokungalingani phakathi kokuphindaphinda okusheshayo kwesayensi kanye nokuzivumelanisa nezimo kwengqondo, njengoba umlando uqinisekisile ngokuphindaphindiwe. Ezikhathini ezahlukene zomlando, abantu baye babhekana nobunzima kanye nemiphumela engaqinisekile yesayensi entsha kanye nobuchwepheshe ngokulindelekile kanye nokukhathazeka. Ukuxhumana okunganele kwesayensi kuqhubekisela phambili ukuntengantenga kokwethembana okuqhutshwa ulwazi olungelona iqiniso. Ikakhulukazi, lapho ukuxhumana kwesayensi kwehluleka ukuchaza ngokushesha ukulinganiselwa kwesayensi, noma lapho ososayensi bengaxoxi ngokugcwele ngezingozi ezihlobene nakho, umphakathi ungase uthambekele kakhulu olwazini olungamanga. Ngenxa yalokho, ukwethembana kwisayensi nakososayensi kungaba buthaka.
Isayensi ikhombisa ukubaluleka kwayo njengento enhle yomphakathi ngokusebenzela inhlalakahle yesintu ekubhekaneni nezinkinga ezifana nentuthuko esimeme, impilo yomhlaba wonke, kanye nokuvikeleka kokudla. Ukuthola ukwethenjwa komphakathi kuhlale kuyinto ebalulekile ekufezeni leli nani. Ngaphandle kokwethembana, ukungabaza nokungaqondi kahle ngesayensi kungaholela ekuphikisweni nasekuphazamisekeni.
Namuhla, isayensi ithintwa ukwehluka okukhulu kwabantu. Izikhala phakathi kwamazwe anemali engenayo ephezulu kanye namazwe anemali engenayo ephansi noma ephakathi zibangela izinselele ezahlukene ezihlobene nokwethembana. Ubuchwepheshe buye bandisa ukungalingani kwezifunda, okubangela ukungabaza okwandayo ngokuthi isayensi iyawuzuzisa yini umphakathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izingcindezi ezivela kwezombusazwe, ezezimali, kanye nezinye ithonya zingase ziphambukise iziphetho zesayensi, zikhulise kakhulu ukwehlukana ekuthembeni.
Ukulondoloza ukwethembana kwisayensi kuncike ekufinyelelekeni nasekubandakanyeni kolwazi lwesayensi nezinsizakusebenza. Lapho isayensi intula ukufinyeleleka nokubandakanya, ukubaluleka kwayo njengenzuzo yomphakathi ekhonza inhlalakahle yabantu kuyancipha, futhi ukungathembani kuyanda. Isibonelo, eminye imiphakathi engenazo izinsizakusebenza ngokwanele ayinazo ingqalasizinda eyisisekelo kanye nokuqukethwe kwesayensi ngezilimi zendawo, okwenza kube nzima ukuqonda intuthuko yakamuva yesayensi. Okwamanje, amaqembu amancane kanye namaqembu anemali engenayo ephansi angase anganakwa noma ahlukaniswe yimizamo yokuxhumana kwesayensi.
Izixazululo zisezibonelweni ezisebenzayo eziqinisa ukwethembana kwisayensi futhi zibonise indima yesayensi njengento enhle yomphakathi enhlalakahleni yabantu. Okokuqala, lokhu kudinga ukuletha ngenkuthalo izinzuzo zesayensi ezihlanganisa wonke umphakathi ngokulalela nokuxoxa izindaba ngempumelelo. Isibonelo, imiphakathi yase-Afrika ifinyelele ukwaneliseka kokudla ngobuchwepheshe belayisi elihlanganisiwe; izindawo ezikude ziphinde zathola ukufinyelela ekunakekelweni kwezempilo ngezinhlelo ze-telemedicine; futhi abantu abakhubazekile baphinde bathola umsebenzi ngobuchwepheshe be-brain-computer interface (BCI). Lezi zindaba zibonisa ubuchwepheshe obuphezulu njengomthombo wethemba. Okwesibili, ukubamba iqhaza ekwenzeni izinqumo zesayensi kufanele kube sobala kakhulu, kube nendawo enkulu yokuziveza emphakathini. Lapho isayensi ibonakaliswa ngokucacile njengento enhle yomphakathi ehlanganisa futhi efinyelelekayo, abantu bangazizwa ngqo izinzuzo zayo—ukusiza ekwakheni ukuvumelana nokwethemba isayensi.
