Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze the mediation efforts of the university in innovation processes in social networks. The article is based on the sociology of innovation by dissociation. It explains how the work of two groups of university research passes from one process of accompaniment to another of distance, in the constitution of a cooperative in a neighborhood of Bogota, Colombia. The guidelines of the analysis are the types of workshops applied in the transition from economic development approaches and local economic management to learning communities approach. For university mediation to be directed toward a Socio Technological System, it is necessary to understand innovation not as a process of change, but as one of exchange based on vital vocations, this requires going beyond scientific inquiry as the only source of innovation.
