Sumario:Production of knowledge in interaction among various actors reflects a trajectory of social commitment of public Latin American universities. This article focuses on the characteristics that the participation of non-academic actors has within knowledge production processes in interaction. The guiding question aims to identify the roles non-academic actors acquire when they engage in knowledge processes with academic actors. For this purpose, a set of projects funded by the Research Program Oriented to Social Inclusion of the University of the Republic (Uruguay) is taken as an empirical reference. The participation of non-academic actors is examined on the basis of three specific dimensions (profiles, communication flow, and intervention) that contribute to the construction of knowledge processes in a gradient from collaboration to co-production. In terms of ideal types, collaboration and co-production simplify the heterogeneity of possible relationships between “experts and laymen” when situated knowledge agendas are fostered.
