Sumario:The San Jorge Gulf basin is part of the territories with low scientific and technological capabilities that, in the last two decades, have benefited from the impetus of certain science and technology (S&T) policies aimed at promoting capacity building throughout the country. This article analyzes the process of generating scientific and technological capabilities and linking and transferring knowledge with the socio-productive environment in the region, based on a case study of the trajectories of the three research groups that make up the first joint institution between CONICET (National Scientific and Technical Research Council) and the local National University. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative techniques (statistical data collection), document analysis, and semi-structured interviews with researchers, authorities from the National University and the CIT-Golfo San Jorge (San Jorge Gulf Technology Center), and local public administration officials. Among the findings, the centrality of policies promoting and decentralizing S&T activities for the development of a new way of doing science in the region stands out. This new approach is based on opening up and reorienting basic research toward addressing local problems. The main barriers to technological linkage are related to bureaucratic aspects of the academic system and a lack of knowledge about the dynamics of research and development.
