ABSTRACT
The objective of this research is to determine if the practices of outrearch carried out by the universities are really of outrearch. The reports of outrearch activities of 60 universities were analyzed. The information reported by each institution was checked and validated based on the literature to see if the activities developed are really related and of what type they are. The results show that social action and continuing education are the types of outrearch activities that most universities carry out. On the other hand, the transfer of technology and the creation of companies are the activities of outrearch less development. In addition, 25% of the universities classify the follow-up to graduates as practice of outrearch, although such activity is not considered as of outrearch.
