Abstract

This research explored the University-Business relationship based on a case study of the Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias (FCAV), Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), aiming understand the effects of this approximation on the academic performance of public university. To do so, was evaluated the performance of teachers with partnerships with market institutions and those who do not, through the Fundação de Apoio a Pesquisa, Ensino e Extensão (FUNEP). The analysis unit was the teachers linked to the 11 Postgraduate Programs of the FCAV, with a 5-year time span (2011 to 2016). The variables were constructed based on the theoretical basis of the study. The data were treated by discriminant analysis. The 169 teachers who have projects with the market constitute Group 1, so the 127 that did not present projects are in Group 0. The results indicate that the involvement of teachers in projects with companies for technology generation do not compete with the other objectives of the FCAV. It was verified that in none of the studied variables the production of the teachers with resources to the market is inferior to those that do not have, in contrast, for  some variables, the results were superior. It was found that the teachers with projects attached to FUNEP are the ones that attract the most funds. It was concluded that teachers with projects with FUNEP when they do not mirror the same performance of those who do not, present superior results, confirming that the University-Business relation does not compromise the academic productivity of these professionals.
