The present work investigates university-industry interactions in Brazil through available data from CNPq's Research Groups Directory collected in Census 2002. Although limitations intrinsic to information collection, the database supplies some evidence from recent university-industry interactions in Brazil. The results point that collaborative relations are concentrated in terms of knowledge field and sector of activity. The more frequent relationships were no routine engineering, consultancy and trainament. This result were in accordance with Brazilian's NSI, but also suggests that much more can be done fostering academic knowledge transference to firms in the country.
