AB Innovation is a key aspect for the sustainability and competitiveness of organisations, andof the economy in general. In recent years, Open Innovation (OI) has burst onto the scene as a moreopen approach, in which the sources and exchange of knowledge are extended beyond organisationalborders. One of the main actors and providers of knowledge is the University. The literature relatedto OI and the University is very prolific, but at the same time dispersed. This paper aims to expandon the trend in research on OI and University. To do this, bibliometric techniques have been used toanalyse a sample of 349 articles from journals indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) between 2005 and2020. The results suggest that there is a high level of interest in research on this subject and that it is infull swing. The focus of the research is on topics such as collaboration, business–industry, R&D, networks,performance or knowledge-transfer. Emerging themes such as knowledge-spillover or absorptive-capacityappear, which are related to the research sensitivity on the true use of the knowledge generated. Inrecent years, there has been a trend towards research into entrepreneurship, key aspects of R&Dsuch as strategy and cooperation, or education management. With regard to research related toUniversity–Enterprise cooperation, the focus has been on SMEs, Helix models, entrepreneurship, orcommercialisation. Finally, there are areas of research that require greater development related tofamily businesses and SMEs. This work sheds light on the state of the literature related to OI andUniversity and is very useful for the orientation of future work in the field of research.
