Higher Education Institutions (HEI) generate data, information, and knowledge, which is why they are considered key actors in open data ecosystems. In this context, open data is a strategy that supports the access to information and the universities' relationship with the environment. The objective of this article is to study through a comparative analysis, the scope of the publications of open data sets of Colombian universities from three axes: (1) the Objectives of Sustainable Development (OSD); (2) goods and services sectors, and (3) strategic issues defined by the Colombian government. The results show a low publication of data sets, which are centered in educational quality and coverage. It is concluded that Colombian universities require incentives and national guidelines that allow them to comply with Law 1712 of 2014 on Public Transparency, and the implementation of open data initiatives that strengthen interaction with the environment, the generation of knowledge and innovation.

Keywords : Access to information; open data; open university university extension; Colombia.
