Abstract

The database from the Brazilian Research Council (CNPq), and some descriptive data from the Brazilian university survey are used as resources from which to derive and examine patterns of university-industry linkages in Brazil. This database allows identification of 2,151 interactive research groups in Brazil, the population base for the questionnaires. An important role is played by the university through academic research in the creation and diffusion of new knowledge among firms. In general, the analysis of the data shows that the interaction between universities and firms can benefit both when there is bidirectional flow of information.
