Abstract

The democratization of knowledge is seen as a set of processes that are needed to face trends towards the solution of growing inequality. As an example of such processes, some university research policies are analyzed in this paper. It is asserted that, particularly in Latin America, connecting directly the generation of high level knowledge with its socially useful utilization may be an efficient strategy for expanding research.
