Abstract
SUMMARY The roles of universities in the context of the knowledge society and globalization are discussed conceptually. In this perspective, there are essential requirements for universities, which emerge from knowledge economy, technology convergence, and globalization. The proposed roles are primarily associated with human undergraduate and graduate capital formation, the creation of advanced knowledge and linkages with the environment to foster equity and territorial development. Finally, an empirical application of the model was applied in the case of 53 Chilean universities participated in and institutional accreditation processes, where it is found that 84.91% of the universities analyzed complies partially with one or more of the roles indicated in the model for such institutions in the society of knowledge and globalization; 9.43% fully complies with each and every one of the roles proposed; and 15.09% do not comply with satisfactory levels of quality in the fulfillment of any of these university roles.

Interciencia is the monthly multidisciplinary publication of the INTERCIENCIA Association. It is dedicated to stimulate scientific research, its humanitarian use and the study of its social context, specially in Latin America and the Caribbean and to promote communication between the scientific and technological communities of the Americas.
Interciencia has been published uninterruptedly since 1976. Its Founding Director, Marcel Roche (endocrinologist and sociologist of science) was editor until 2008, and thereafter Miguel Laufer (neurobiologist) has been in charge. It has been included since 1978 in the Science Citation Index and other international indexes, and since 2008 it maintains an open access electronic version with material from 2005 onwards.
The priority areas of the journal, without exclusion of other areas, are Agronomy, Arid Lands, Food and Nutrition, Biotechnology, Ecology and Environment, Energy, Innovation and Technology Transfer, Marine Resources, Non-renewable Resources, Science Education, Science Policy, Study and Sociology of Science, and Tropical Forests.
