Lakatos is a philosopher who was part of Popper's circle of disciples and who to some extent followed his master. When elaborating his notion of a scientific investigation program, he adopted many ideas defended by Popper, but he also intended to overcome him. In this paper, based on the notion of “research program”, which in our understanding is present in the thinking of the two philosophers, our objective is to investigate in which aspects Lakatos took a step ahead of his master. To this end, we will first show that in Popper the notion of “research program” is already elaborated, considering his ideas about the “organized structure” that guides scientific investigations and the “metaphysical research program”. Subsequently, we will present Lakatos' notion of “scientific research program”, as a rereading of Popperian programs, seeking to show that he gave them unity and greater systematicity and sought to resolve certain impasses that weakened them.
