Soledad: Sometimes community priorities do not match policy-makers', so it is also the responsibility of scientists to support communities with the information and data that they need - and in time community pressure can result in shifting policymaker priorities.

#CSPC2025: Chair of #INGSAAfrica, Shaheen Motala-Timol. Historical legacies still shape how policy is made. And despite having a large percentage of the global population, Africa has a tiny percentage of the global research budget. This is a major concern for having tailored data to work with

Marcus Prutsch: Academic Freedom - it might not be an evil plan by governments to undermine academic freedom, but it might be subconscious, in the way that funding is handed out or the social narrative. As a researcher your options can be limited by these subtle means.

INGSA-VP, Soledad Quiroz: Canada invests 1.8% GDP in research - Latin America invests 0.5% GDP. And it is not evenly shared. So resources are severely limited.
In Canada ~15 scientists per 1000 people, in Chile, 1 scientist per 1000 ppl. And for many countries, there just isn't the data. #CSPC2025
