| Sumario: | Nowadays, the interaction between universities and their territories (engagement or third mission) is considered a core mission of universities whatever the country and the policymaker. Still, this third mission is an ambiguous notion and there is no consensus in the scientific community about its definition and system of indicators, hindering the visibility of universities’ socioeconomic contributions to their territories. This paper revises the wide variety of indicators proposed theoretically in Europe as well as their actual restricted use in empirical studies. Our revision shows that both theoretical and used indicators are strongly heterogeneous and biased towards technology transfer and innovation |
