results were synthesized into three interrelated categories, which are: extension offer
conception, inseparability Teaching-Research-Extension and University-Society link.

projects, which are: knowledge provision with a focus on dissemination/diffusion of
Science-Technology, offering expertise with a focus on courses and training and
adjusted offer by social demands. The second category showed three interrelated
conditions that, to a greater or lesser extent, hampers effective joint between
Education-Research-Extension. They are: the extension offer character associated
with the extension, the extension on curriculum and conceptual aspects of the
