Abstract
The paper examines the patterns of university-industry linkages in Brazil, especially the role played by universities in the creation and diffusion of knowledge among firms. Among the 19,470 research groups in the Census of the Brazilian Research Council (CNPq) directory database (2004) 2,151 groups declared that they had interactions with 3,068 firms. Engineering and the agrarian sciences sectors show the widest university-industry linkages. New research projects and information exchange were the main benefits for research groups’ interactions with firms.
