Abstract

This paper aims to contribute to the intricate theme of university and industry cooperation in Brazil. The paper performs a systematic literature review of university and industry cooperation in Brazil and Latin America and analyses recent experiences of two important Brazilian universities in the framework of large cooperation projects with private enterprises. In its conclusion, the paper sustains that, despite important framework conditions for strengthening cooperation between universities and industry have been built by public policy programs throughout the country, evidences so far indicate that it is yet too early to celebrate the success of such experiences in stimulating solid linkages among universities and private enterprises in Brazil.
