[Integration of nursing in science and technology policies]. / A inserção da enfermagem nas políticas de ciência e tecnologia.

Brazilian nursing is included in the national science and technology system, as part of the health knowledge area. Its scientific production is reknown but is yet to strengthen its position. Among the strategies to be used, we can emphasize: study different ways to promote a closer relationship between university and services; create or intensify interfacing between clinical and academic nurses; promote strategic research for the use of technological innovations, continuing education of human resources, and implement studies on Nursing care while integrating skills required by complex technological systems and intersubjectivity, acting in a therapeutic way.
