Producción de conocimiento en la universidad

In this essay, the author argues that the production of knowledge is unpredictable and cannot be domesticated, and therefore, requires its own autonomy. Thus, it cannot be submitted by the powers that be without destroying its own nature, but it does need the powers that be to find the institutional environment necessary for its development. Since this institutional environment is, in contemporary societies, the University, the particular requirements of the production of knowledge must be considered in University financing and administration models if this production is to succeed.
