I have a question I keep coming back to: what does it actually take for a public research institute to thrive in Peru?
We talk a lot about publications, patents, and rankings. But before any of that, there's a quieter set of things that determine whether an institute can do good work at all — stable funding, the right people, governance that doesn't get in its own way, usable data, real links to industry.
That's the layer I want to understand better, and the best people to teach me are the ones living it.
I'm looking to talk with researchers, scientists, and academics who work in or alongside Peru's public research institutes (IPIs).
If you've spent time inside SINACTI, worked with CONCYTEC or PROCIENCIA, or just know what the day-to-day reality of doing research here feels like — I'd genuinely love a conversation. Not a survey, not a formal evaluation. Just 30–40 minutes to hear what's working, what's quietly broken, and what you wish people designing policy actually understood.
If this is you, or you know someone it describes, comment below or send me a message. Happy to share more about the work, and everything shared can be kept anonymous.
Thanks for reading — and for the work you do.
