Responsabilidade social universitária e sua aplicabilidade no ensino superior

Abstract

Este artigo objetivou analisar a produção científica nacional e internacional de 2004 a 2019 a respeito da Responsabilidade Social Universitária (RSU) e sua aplicação nas instituições de ensino superior públicas. Para isso uma revisão integrativa de literatura foi realizada na Web of Science. Os resultados revelam categorias de discussão acerca da RSU: seu conceito, aplicabilidade, formas de avaliação, e também suas contribuições e limitações para a educação superior. Apesar de a RSU estar em construção, avanços podem ser sinalizados, especialmente quanto aos impactos que promove.
