This article presents a bibliometric overview of publications on university-industry collaboration (UIC) from the last fifty years (1969–2018). Among the results that were obtained, three main ones come to light. First, this article presents a complete panorama of UIC research from the past fifty years. Secondly, we were able to note that the UIC research trajectory can be divided into four generations which are represented by different phases: the discovery phase (1969–1979), the development phase (1980–1999), the expansion phase (2000–2010) and the consolidation phase (2011–2018). Furthermore, the connections and evolution pertaining to these four generations were identified. The third result was the identification of eight research trends within the UIC context: ‘UIC topics’ (especially: motivation, channels, barriers and results), ‘engineering education’, ‘societies and institutions’, ‘knowledge transfer’, ‘innovation’, ‘entrepreneurial university’, ‘sustainability’ and ‘developing countries’.

The increasing use of, and dependence on, Information Technology (IT) to support operational teaching, research, and management activities in Higher Education Institutions (HEI)—mainly due to their multi-unit organizational structure—have evidenced the need of encouraging managers to focus more on IT Governance (ITG) effectiveness, which has been an issue for many of these institutions. In this sense, we aim to develop a specific ITG model for Higher Education Institutions, by following the methodological principles of Design Science Research (DSR). The model was developed based on a robust theoretical basis that took into account different approaches substantiated by both the alignment of good practices and ITG focus areas as well as addressing the current ITG context of the Brazilian higher education institutions. The validation of the ITG model was based on its presentation to members of the IT Steering Committee of a Brazilian HEI, who confirmed its usefulness and applicability.
