Abstract

Purpose: We analyze the insertion of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and

the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC) in the consolidation process of the Regional Innovation System in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina.

Design/methodology/approach: We adopt the documentary research method in the environments of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC). With regard to data analysis, we use the theoretical-analytical categorization, based on research and development (R&D) and skills-building indicators by innovative learning.

Findings: The study results show the mediation and knowledge production roles that both universities play in RIS to organizations. This allowed us to understand that the studied universities were included in this process, through the learning flows of innovative channels, which covered the areas of undergraduate and research.

Social Implications: This investigation reflects the social and economic relevance of the universities studied for the region in which they are inserted in the context of RIS.

Originality/value: The actions related to the analyzed indicators encompass interests from both the public and private spheres, thus enabling systemic results in the processes of generating innovative knowledge, which reinforces the capacity for innovation at the regional level.
