Abstract

University Social Responsibility (USR) is a challenge today for universities that must aim to meet standards that involve and benefit all stakeholders; for academics as an object of study of the elements required for their adequate performance and for practitioners in the design of policies and strategies for the development and regulation of USR. Although the literature relates the general processes of Technological Transfer (TT) to the USR, its specificities and implications have not been explored in depth. This paper aims, from a literature review, to identify how and under what actions the TT can be understood as an USR practice; based on the establishment of specific proposals and actions and on possible research opportunities for this subject.
