Abstract :
Science can be thought as the knowledge generator for the benefit of human kind. As knowledge is to be applied by humans, provisions must be taken for its correct application and implementation. Science, as knowledge generator, has the capacity to establish how to apply that knowledge and, to determine how the people who implement it, must proceed. Then, science has the ability to determine how to prepare the professionals who will apply and implement that knowledge. Human well-being is the Social Responsibility of Science and a key strategy to attain it, is to estalish how to educate the professionals.
