The purpose of this study is to systematize the theoretical elements that evidence the link between the management of the knowledge and the social capital in university contexts. Theoretical aspects of social capital and knowledge management are addressed, particularly their presence in university contexts. An analysis was made of criteria of outstanding specialists from the field of social capital, as well as its identifying elements and dimensions. In the case of knowledge management, reference is made to professionals dealing with the topic and its strategic processes. A discussion is provided about the close relationship between social capital, knowledge management and intellectual capital as a triad fostering the development of knowledge in organizations. As a result, a relationship is proposed between aspects which closely link social capital and knowledge management in universities.

Keywords : social capital; knowledge management; university contexts; intellectual capital.
