Abstract

The aim of this study is to comprehend the phenomenon of knowledge and technology transfer in the context of social innovation, highlighting key strategies, challenges faced, and observed impacts. It refers to an exploratory and descriptive research based on an integrative review of studies published in the Web of Science database. Eight articles that meet the research objective have been selected. The majority of the analyzed articles present case studies in which Higher Education Institutions play a central role, utilizing public engagement strategies through projects, programs, courses, and workshops. Among the challenges faced in the transfer of knowledge to promote social innovation are university culture, difficulties in engaging social actors, bureaucratic structure, and the measurement of social value. However, the positive impacts are diverse, including the generation of social and economic value, such as income generation, employment, and profitability in businesses.
