Teaching, research and outreach have been considered, through time, the three essential activities of any university. This paper proposes, through a historical and comparative analysis, a model of universities as the "Institution of Knowledge". Their functions would be to generate, transfer and manage knowledge. The paper analyzes the way in which these functions are being conducted in Chilean universities and proposes how they should be performed in a society with features such as the current one, characterized by globalization and a predominance of the market. It highlights the inconsistencies evident in the current scheme of incentives and financing in Chile, particularly in those that have an effect on the role of universities in society and it points to some solutions that could produce the kind of university that we would like to have in our country
