Abstract

This work has the objective to present brief reflections about universities, as educational institutions, starting from the aspects of creation. So in this way, it is intended to observe the relation between knowledge and the university, as well as its relation with society. Based on the premise that university is one of the institutions responsible for the dialogue between society and the intellectual production present in the academic environment, we assume that exist a rupture in the university social function, following the idea that the knowledge production is limited to what we denominate 'academic bubble', thus it turns essential the disruption with the dichotomy between the society and the intellectual knowledge produced in the universities. However, we understand that certain transformation actions occurs gradually, based on strategies designed in the context that is intended to be modified, therefore we intend to start a discussion, about the possibilities that allows a connection among the knowledge produced in the academia and society. In short, our discussion field is focused to reflect this perspective in the educational field, more specifically the social responsibility of the research in this area and its relation with the practical environment.
