Construction and evaluation of innovative capacities of the academic sector

Objective: Strengthen innovation management capacities (technological, non-technological) with a prosocial orientation in GESIT Consortium Universities through interaction on a dynamic platform with public, business and regional civil society actors to promote a highly productive economy for inclusive and sustainable social development. Summary enumeration of the specific objectives: Map capabilities, promote good practices, develop a dynamic regional platform, promote business innovation and entrepreneurship, with a prosocial orientation.

Few universities have been successful in transmitting knowledge to companies and society, and fewer in creating a system where knowledge flows in both directions. The development of new capacities for innovation and entrepreneurship in universities is vital for the development of countries.. We no longer work only with the triple helix, we work with civil society, with a prosocial approach, which allows effective technology transfer with and for the beneficiaries. The aim is to strengthen a culture of innovation in the academic community, which has already begun through the work carried out by the GESIT network, financed by CyTED. GESIT partners and new national networks (Peru and Guatemala) participate here.
