This article aims to build a network for the exchange of knowledge between the government and production, community and university sectors for sustainable local development. To achieve this, the authors relied on the concepts of sustainable local development, social capital, the relationship between sectors or intersectorality, networks and interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary knowledge. Regarding the methodology, the abductive method was used. Under a documentary design, the research techniques were a content analysis of theoretical documents and the deductive inference technique. The construction of a knowledge exchange network for sustainable local development stands out as the result. It is concluded that knowledge networks for sustainable local development have positive implications in the establishment of alliances and links between the sectors that make up society.

The professional practices represent a space for interorganizational and intersectoral alliances that contribute to the development of localities and regions. From this referent, the design and validation of intersectoral cooperation networks is considered pertinent for the effective management of professional practices. Therefore, this article is oriented towards the construction of the ideal scenario where a universitygovernmentcompany intersectoral cooperation network can operate on a horizon of 2030. Foresight is used as a research and planning method, in conjunction with the consultation of experts from different social sectors that lead to obtaining sixteen scenarios of probable occurrence. For this, techniques, such as the prospective workshop, Delphi method, structural analysis (MICMAC) and scenario analysis (SMIC), are used. The results show a bet scenario where the four finally selected events occur, with a probability of occurrence of 35.7%, which would allow establishing future strategies that allow the network to be operational. It is concluded that the formation of a cooperation network for the management of university professional practices represents in itself a strategy to strengthen the curriculum and guide the achievement of common objectives in the intersectoral context studied. The contribution of the article to the study of sustainability sciences stands out, since it addresses a theme that leads to the description, explanation and understanding of the sustainable development of localities and regions from an educational dimension. In this sense, the contribution is synthesized from three planes of reflection and analysis: firstly, the understanding of sustainability as a multidimensional construct, where education is a key dimension to consolidate sustainable development processes; secondly, the management of interorganizational and intersectoral networks as a cooperation strategy that promotes sustainable development; and thirdly, prospective as a planning method that leads to delineating betting scenarios for sustainability management from an educational perspective, more specifically from the university curriculum.

Este estudio tiene por objetivo analizar la vinculación universidad-comunidad sobre la base de pertinencia pedagógica-social de los proyectos "unidades curriculares en los programas nacionales de formación" que se adelantan en el Instituto Universitario de Tecnología Alonso Gamero (Venezuela). El estudio se estructuró en una primera fase a través de la construcción de un sistema teórico, seguido de una fase de campo de naturaleza descriptiva en la cual se hizo uso de un cuestionario aplicado a una población de diez coordinadores departamentales pertenecientes a la institución. Los resultados indican que existe una significativa presencia de: productos generados para el desarrollo comunitario, articulación con la realidad social, transformación en el entorno y articulación teórico-práctica. Se concluye que la gestión efectiva de las unidades curriculares permite la articulación entre las funciones sustantivas de la universidad y la interacción socio comunitaria, ofreciendo a los estudiantes oportunidades para desarrollar y socializar sus competencias.
