Viewing cable 08BUENOSAIRES823, ARGENTINE MINISTER OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08BUENOSAIRES823.

Summary 
------- 
 
2. (SBU) Argentine Minister of Science and Technology Lino 
Baranao (Ba-ran-yow) will visit Washington July 7-9, and he 
hopes to meet with you during that trip.  I believe you would 
find such a meeting useful, as Baranao has indicated on a 
number of occasions his willingness and desire to expand 
Argentina's science and technology cooperation with the U.S. 
That cooperation has traditionally been strong, especially in 
areas such as space and nuclear energy, and Argentina is 
reaching a sufficiently high level of attainment in other 
fields that enhanced cooperation offers the possibility of 
real utility for both sides.  Tom Shannon will be leading a 
delegation to Argentina in July for the first round of newly 
revived bilateral consultations; science and technology 
cooperation will be on the agenda.  End Summary. 
 
----------------------------- 
Changing a Scientific Culture 
----------------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) My discussions with Baranao, who is Argentina's 
first Minister of Science and Technology, have focused on a 
central theme: Baranao's admiration for U.S. scientific 
culture, and how he hopes to convince Argentina's scientists 
and researchers to think more like their U.S. counterparts. 
Specifically, Baranao wants Argentine scientists and research 
institutions to better capitalize on their ideas.  Baranao's 
principal complaint is that the Argentine scientific 
establishment still finds something discreditable about 
making money.  Baranao's mission, as he put it to me, is to 
make publicly-funded researchers "understand that they have a 
moral obligation to make money" to generate jobs and wealth 
for Argentina. 
 
4. (SBU) Baranao is well-placed to effect such a change, as 
he has some manner of control over much of Argentina's 
scientific research.  The Argentine state research 
organization (CONICET), over which Baranao has authority, 
pays at least a portion of the salaries of all 
university-based researchers.  CONICET boasts over 4,500 
full-time researchers and over 5,000 doctoral or 
post-doctoral fellows.  Baranao is therefore THE person with 
whom to meet for an understanding of Argentina's science and 
technology achievements and aspirations. 
 
-------------------------------------- 
Next Steps in the Bilateral S&T Agenda 
-------------------------------------- 
 
5. (SBU) WHA Assistant Secretary Tom Shannon will be visiting 
Buenos Aires soon after Baranao's visit to the U.S., and one 
of the items on Shannon's agenda will be how to move forward 
on our bilateral S&T cooperation.  Tom met with Baranao 
during his latest visit to Buenos Aires.  Our S&T cooperation 
has traditionally been strong, especially in the areas of 
space and nuclear technology, but Argentina has real 
potential in other critical fields as well (e.g., 
biotechnology, nanotechnology, and information technology). 
We recently organized a meeting between Baranao and U.S 
high-tech, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies to discuss 
improving cooperation between the public and private sectors 
here.  A meeting between you and Baranao would therefore be 
an excellent way to begin a deeper engagement that has real 
potential to benefit both countries.  That Baranao is a 
friend of the U.S. and an admirer of our scientific culture 
makes enhanced bilateral S&T cooperation a natural, and I 
hope that your meeting will spur that result.
