Resarch based links: knowledge diversity to solve productive problems
Abstract
A characteristic of research at the university level is its universal approach which involves all areas of knowledge. The aim of this paper is to analyze how such diversity in research can be seen as a strength for linking academic work with the industry. The analysis is based on a documentary study of the projects supported by the Linking with the Productive Sector program of Universidad de la República of Uruguay during 1999-2010. Results show that this program was an appropriate and original tool to promote university work and productive sector links through research activities that include the creation and application of knowledge.References
