Gestión universitaria de la divulgación científica orientada al desarrollo local/University management of scientific disclosure orientated to local development

The disclosure of scientific-technological results should be a fundamental activity of Cuban university professors to promote social participation as a generator of development. However, in spite of the efforts of the Cuban Ministry of Higher Education for this activity to be successful, there are still insufficient reports on the extensions practices of Cuban universities. The objective of the present work is to make a critical reflection about the university management of the scientific disclosure and its relation with the local development. The reflection begins with the analysis of theoretical and methodological aspects about scientific disclosure and considerations are made about its university management in order to promote the development of localities. The conclusion is that the university management of scientific dissemination has a very promising future to contribute to the sustainable development of the country, provided that its proper conception and implementation is achieved.
