Abstract

The present study aims to revise themes that were the order of the day at the beginning of the 20th Century in relation to innovation, entrepreneurship and scientific production in Brazil, pointing out the role of the public university in the process. It notes the role of innovation in the social-economic development and the need for the State to invest in public policies in the area. We discuss the extent of the positive evolution in the Brazilian scenario at the threshold of the 21st Century, as well as the points still pending. We emphasize the connections between innovation and knowledge production in the university, based on three analysis axes: basic education, higher education regionalization and graduate study expansion.
