Sin embargo, dicha tercera misión continúa siendo un concepto ambiguo, no existiendo consenso sobre su definición y sistema de indicadores. Ello reduce la visibilidad de las contribuciones socio-económicas de las universidades en sus territorios. Este estudio revisa la amplia variedad de los indicadores teóricos propuestos en Europa, así como su restringido uso empírico. Nuestra revisión muestra que estos indicadores son muy heterogéneos, caracterizando principalmente la transferencia e innovación tecnológicaUniversidades de AndalucíaDepartamento de Economía y Hacienda PúblicaFacultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales20212021-01-01research articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10486/721275reponame:Biblos-e Archivo.
