Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the collaboration between academia and industry in the teaching of metallurgical processes, using the MACTOR technique to investigate the influence and dependency relationships between the different actors involved. Through both an exploratory and descriptive approach, based on an exhaustive review of the literature and consultation with experts, the most significant challenges, strategic objectives, and interdependencies present in this educational and industrial ecosystem are identified.

The analysis allows the actors to be classified according to their degree of influence and dependency, establishing a distinction between those who have a predominant role in decision-making and those who occupy more subordinate or autonomous positions within this collaborative network. The results obtained reveal the main differences and similarities between the various actors, which is key to understanding the opportunities and obstacles that influence the integration of knowledge and technologies in the training of future professionals in the context of metallurgy.

The findings of this study provide insight into the current state of collaboration between academia and industry, which could serve as a reference for decision-making within universities, companies, and regulatory bodies. Understanding these dynamics is essential to strengthen existing alliances and ensure that educational programs are tailored to the needs of the metallurgical sector, thus fostering more relevant and effective training.
