The most important aspects of science and technology in Argentina are concerned with medicine,nuclear physics,biotechnology,nanotechnology,space and rocket technology and several fields related to the country's main economic activities. According to the World Bank,Argentina exports in high-technology are products with high R&D intensity,such as in aerospace,computers,pharmaceuticals,scientific instruments,and electrical machinery. Benefiting from Latin America's highest literacy rates since shortly after President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento made primary education universally available in the 1860s and 1870s,Argentine researchers and professionals at home and abroad continue to enjoy a high standing in their fields. Argentine Bernardo Houssay was the first Latin American awarded with a Nobel Prize in sciences. Educated in a National University,Houssay went on to establish Argentina's National Research Council,a centerpiece in Argentine scientific and technological development,fifty years on. Many other Argentines have contributed to scientific development around the world,though sometimes having to emigrate to do so. Probably for that,the Argentine education is referred as the Latin American docta,which originates from the Latin docta (learned). Argentina was ranked 76th in the Global Innovation Index in 2024.
