CASTRO MARTINEZ, Elena  and  VEGA JURADO, Jaider. Las relaciones universidad-entorno socioeconómico en el Espacio Iberoamericano del Conocimiento. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2009, vol.4, n.12, pp.71-81. ISSN 1850-0013.

This article describes the initiative that is being undertaken, in the framework of the Ibero- American Knowledge Space, to promote knowledge within Latin American universities. This is a direct result of the Ibero-American Network that is being developed to train University-Industry Relationships managers. This article reviews the evolution of the social role of the universities in general, and of the Ibero-American universities in particular, with regard to their involvement in the socio-economic development of their countries and regions. It also describes the needs for new instruments and structures, and therefore for new professionals capable of managing the new instruments of collaboration with socio-economic agents, a need that justifies the initiative described above.

Keywords : University-industry relationships; Knowledge transfer; Knowledge society; University; Networks; Management; Interface structures.
