参与协作网络可成为公共部门科技组织创新的重要推动力。它也是科技政策的一个重要组成部分，需要有指标来评估这些组织借以创新的网络。在这项研究中，我们应用网络指标的两个科技组织，是巴西公共卫生部门的一部分。这些指标涵盖两个互补的视角：一个视角考虑各组织的科学网络，另一个视角考虑其技术网络。这些指标有助于分析各组织参与的网络，并有助于了解其协作模式中可支持战略决策的重要方面。该方法是一种有价值的诊断工具，为科学技术机构的绩效评估和支持发展提供了一种有用的机制。
Engaging in collaborative networks can be an important facilitator of innovation for public sector science and technology (S&T) organizations. It is also an important component of S&T policies that require indicators that can assess the networks through which these organizations innovate. In this study, we apply network indicators to two S&T organizations that are part of the Brazilian public health sector. The indicators cover two complementary perspectives: one that considers the organizations' scientific networks and the other that considers their technological networks. The indicators allowed the analysis of the networks in which the organizations were engaged and the understanding of important aspects of their collaboration patterns that can support strategic decisions. The method employed in this paper proved to be a valuable diagnostic tool and a useful mechanism for evaluating the performance and supporting the development of S&T institutions.
