Métricas de Vinculación Universidad-Entorno: Universidad de Antioquia (Metrics for University Linkage with the Environment: Universidad De Antioquia)

Abstract

In the current report, the results of the second stage are presented (first stage: Velez Cuartas, et al, 2017), for which some indicators and the conceptual scheme were improved. Most of the indicators have been applied to the University of Antioquia (Medellin-Colombia) in general. However, this time a focus was made from the selection of six of its largest faculties: Engineering, Social Sciences and Humanities, Exact and Natural Sciences, Medicine, Agricultural Sciences and Arts. Different areas of knowledge were also considered, according to the Frascati Manual. The final purpose of this study was to generate indicators with different forms of collaborative production or directed to different audiences, for the construction of knowledge and the development of the substantive university missions (teaching, research and extension -third mission-), which allowed a new Model to identify the university-environment relationship.
