The aim of the essay is to reflect on how Freeman's intellectual work linked to some of his contributions on the relationships between STI, Society and Development, including the role of STI policy and the Innovation System approach, influence my academic work. In particular, on the understanding and theoretical-conceptual, methodological and empirical analysis I make of both the processes of knowledge production and its creative use for economic-productive and social purposes. To this end, I propose to revisit Freeman's work, identifying ideas, concepts and relationships that contribute to the understanding of the phenomena I study.
