Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world, with an insignificant industrial sector that is divorced from the R&D system. Nonetheless, like other countries in the world, its universities are changing, gradually assuming a new role in society, especially in forging links to the productive sector. However, while such changes in more developed countries are being brought about by the realities of the economic system, for Tanzania it seems to be coming from government and donor pressures. On the other hand, society in general perceives the role of the university as transcending the mere linkage between the university and the productive sector, to include myriads of social problems confronting society. In this regard, because the university is not the only actor in the Tanzanian research system, the roles that the university should play in the social and economic system of the country need to be clearly identified.
