Abstract

This paper presents part of the results of a more extensive research previously concluded about the reconfiguration of the academic profession and changes in the work that professors perform, through an approach on the results of an electronic survey, using probability sampling techniques. The dynamic work of university professors shows new outlines and it is relevant to identify how they respond to a scenario in which participation, networking and research groups play important roles. Working in scientific networks and in national and international cooperation makes its presence felt in the institutions whose professors were surveyed and the outcomes show an increased efficiency in articulated projects, access to resources and publications.
