After the Innovation Law 10,974 / 2004 (Brazil), universities were encouraged to carry out activities aimed at promoting the economic development of the region or the country. Innovation from academic studies is seen as the best way to ensure business continuity. But in general, companies do not use the knowledge available in universities to put innovative products on the market. The company manager must be aware of new technological processes in the area in which it operates, should plan actions in the field of scientific and technological research, as a way of generating knowledge and technologies that can be incorporated into the production system. It must know the mechanisms of technology transfer and those that affect the diffusion of knowledge. Thus, research carried out in universities has played an important role in the knowledge and development of new technologies applied to industry. Cooperative relations between companies and universities depend on the relationship between the involved and the committed resources, and these relationships involve mechanisms such as support for research, cooperative research, transfer of knowledge and transfer of technology. These connections, between companies and universities, follow a model of partnership existing between organizations of different nature, which may have different purposes, but collaborate unilaterally towards the same objectives. This thesis had as a research question: what are the connections between companies and universities and the awareness about the future? The main objective of this thesis was to construct and validate a model to analyze how and why they occur from the Industry-University Connections, based on the Bonaccorsi and Piccaluga (1994) model, which constructed a taxonomy of the company-university relationship types. The population was formed by researchers from the University of South Florida in the United States and researchers from Brazil, who have patent registration. Through the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, a valid measurement model was generated at a significance level of 5%, formed by the following constructs: Types of Cooperation; Motivations of the Cooperation Process; Barriers to the Cooperation Process; Facilitators of the Process of Cooperation and Satisfaction of the Cooperation Process.
