A professional who applies his or her intellectual capacities and skills to the acquisition, processing, management, and communication of knowledge.…planning, acquiring, searching, analyzing, organising, storing, programming, distributing, marketing…

“The most valuable assets of the 20th-century company were its production equipment. The most valuable asset of 21st-century institution (whether business or non-business) will be its knowledge workers and their productivity. “ (P. Drucker) Knowledge

• To use “knowledge” does not mean to consume it• Transfer “knowledge” does not imply to lose it • “knowledge ” is abundant , but the ability to use is
rare• “knowledge” can walk out of the office at the end of

Latin America is less involved in science and technology in the international context and it is more marginalized … the USA alone represented 30% of published works, while 90% of scientific magazines in Latin America are not included in any index, which makes them anonymous. Although third world researchers represent 24% of all scientists in the world, it’s practically ignored by international scientific community.
