Scientific Research, Policy Development And Decision-Making

Abstract

Development and progress depend fundamentally on basic pillars, including science and scientific research, and there is no better evidence of this than that the position of any country on the ladder of progress and civilization is measured by the extent of its development in this field.

Highlighting the role of scientific research in achieving integration is represented in the extent of the impact of the development of science and the economic feasibility of scientific research, especially that of public benefit, which contributes to achieving development and integration. The identified obstacles must be overcome to activate the scientific research movement and activate its role. The most prominent obstacles to scientific research and ways to overcome them. The study emphasized the importance and necessity of scientific research in the process of achieving integration. Interest is still below the required level and the low volume of spending on scientific research in general, which led to the lack of interest by researchers in this vital field that leads to the development of society in all fields. There is a clear absence in the connection of scientific research with strategic plans. The study identified the results that must be relied upon to formulate a set of recommendations that can contribute to the development and activation of scientific research. Official and private academic bodies and various institutions must show solidarity and support scientific research with all possibilities due to its medium and long-term future impact on society. The primary objectives are to ensure and support scientific research and technological development and to review plans and the foundations for their support based on institutions with a solid scientific base of qualified people who have experience in preparing theoretical and practical studies and benefiting from the experiences of leading countries in scientific research and serving it in developing the economic structure of society. Higher education institutions, civil society institutions, specialized teams from all ministries and businessmen who have national roots must have a fundamental and pivotal role in preparing and supporting the scientific aspect materially and morally. Encouraging and appreciating research results and their contribution to building society will inevitably lead to achieving the pre-planned goals in achieving real integration. Decision-making sources have a fundamental role in developing policies that contribute to accelerating the development process.
