University-industry-government interaction is the key to improving conditions for innovation in a knowledge-based society. A second academic revolution aimed at integrating economic and social development (third mission) is transforming traditional university teaching and research into a university education intended for entrepreneurs. This paper thus analyses the evolution of the university/socio-economic environment relationship, the models used for explaining innovation and those encouraging innovation. Debate concerning new missions, research and a third mission are then presented. The previous elements may help determine new challenges facing Latin-American universities.

La interacción universidad-industria- Gobierno es clave para mejorar las condiciones de innovación en una sociedad basada en el conocimiento. También una segunda revolución académica, integrando una misión para el desarrollo económico y social (“tercera misión’), está transformando la tradicional universidad de formación e investigación hacia una universidad empresarial. Por lo anterior, en este artículo, se expone un análisis sobre la relación universidad-entorno socioeconómico, los modelos para explicar el proceso de innovación y para fomentar la innovación. A continuación se presentan los debates que se han generado alrededor de las nuevas misiones: la investigación y la “tercera misión”. Los anteriores elementos pueden ser de ayuda para determinar los nuevos retos de la universidad latinoamericana.
