The implementation of technological initiatives in Argentine universities in the face of COVID-19
Abstract
The health emergency determined by COVID-19 highlighted both structural social inequalities and the response capacity of universities in Argentina. From a point of view focused on the territory, the article describes and analyzes how the university responds to the challenges imposed by its environment, taking as an empirical object some recent initiatives of scientific linkage and technology transfer. For its approach, an intentional sample was selected and a descriptive analysis was applied, which integrates primary and secondary sources. It is concluded that, in a context of multiple restrictions, universities tend to support innovation and technology transfer activities that favor the community. But its degree of institutionalization is variable and is closely associated with the capacities and use of the spatial capital of the institutions under analysis.
