== Fall 2020 Priorities ==

=== Strategy #1 “Innovation Week” ===
===== Challenge: “How can we tear down the paradigm that innovation is only for engineers and business students?”=====

This project seeks to involve every UAndes Student in the innovation world. It shall start by motivating students from the same career to form various groups to determine a neglected problem that is noticeable within their specific area, with the purpose to come up with an innovative way to make a change or improvement to it. Knowing that the week starts on Monday, this same day the groups have to create a project from scratch that solves their specific career problem. During the week experts and professors from the Department of I&E will carry out several activities such as workshop simulations, brainstorming exercises, prototyping sessions, constructive seminars, and many more things. What this does is that every student receives the necessary tools to improve and make adjustments to their initial project. This helps them at the same time to notice the importance of innovation and its understanding. At the end of the week, the project that impresses the board with originality and most importantly the one who satisfies in the best way possible the specific need of the school will be considered in the next year's budget so they can implement their solution or improvement in approximately a year. Along their journey, they will constantly have feedback and support from experts, their professors, their faculty, and Universidad de los Andes.

=== Strategy #2 “Students´ Innovation Council UANDES” ===
==== Challenge: "How might we create a support network among UANDES students, to promote the creation of I&E projects?" ====

The main objective of this project prototype is to provide the students of “Universidad de los Andes” a support network created by themselves as students, which encourages them to motivate and start an innovation/entrepreneurship project.
The main idea is that the group of fellows who will lead this program must have all the necessary resources. So, both leaders and the students who want to participate can carry out their strategies, designs, and final projects. For this, they will have a “Marker-space” which will possess work tables and chairs, blackboards, a comfortable couch, post-its, materials, and restricted access to only those students who have previously registered to participate in it.
To carry out this prototype, it will be needing significant funding from the University. For that, we would have to communicate with the person in charge of Innovation at UANDES Aníbal Pinto, and the Students Vice-Rector Francisco Lavín. Who should give us the necessary support to get that financing.
Making this prototype happen, would take a period of time of approximately one and a half years. Since it will be necessary to generate material such as cases of real problems, research of international or national programs on I&E, the design and construction of the “Marker-space”, gather the leaders and open an enrollment system to all the students of the University. On the other hand, we would need the approval of the University to reward fellows with the academic benefits mentioned above.
Fellows who participate in this program will not only develop projects and I&E tools. But they will also create close bonds, have the opportunity to meet other university students, and work for hand in hand with them and maybe... Change the world.

=== Strategy #3 “Challenge Course” ===
===== Challenge: How might we promote entrepreneurship between students, looking forward to solving real problems on the campus and bringing innovation closer to undergraduates? =====

This idea will be an extracurricular course target for all undergraduate students in Universidad de los Andes. Provided by a professor of I&E and with knowledge in design thinking, in order to impact with useful tools for the students' life and motivate them to create processes of problem-solving beginning with understanding unmet campus needs.
The challenge course is open to every student who wants to know more about I&E having the interest and willpower to improve campus life. The only condition, therefore, is motivation, compromise, and engagement with the course and their team fellows.
During the course, fellows will solve real problems on the campus. It could be tangible things, but also immaterial and relevant needs.
The strategy to develop the solutions is through challenges (like the marshmallow challenge). With limited time and materials in order to generate brainstorming instances, prototype ideas, and therefore pushing students to create innovative solutions. After that, each group develops and refines its project.
The course will reopen each term, in order to ideate in a year, one possible solution for two different issues. The members will develop ideas in groups. So teamwork experience will be the focus for collecting ideas and working in collaboration.
The best idea developed until the end of each term will be considered for the budget next year.
This course will be an instance for recreation, ideation, and learning, to become engaged students with their campus and empathizing with their university fellows.

=== Strategy #4 “Student´s Council´s I&E in charge and Faculty Mentor” ===
===== Challenge: “How might we promote I&E around students with the university's collaboration?” =====

This project consists of adding a person to each Faculty´s Student´s Councils who will be in charge of the I&E area. This person will locate all those students who want to innovate or have an idea in order to assess them and contact them with someone who would help them.
At the same time, there should be a person per Faculty who would based on his or her experiences in I&E, could act as a Mentor for those students who want to pursue an idea.
The Faculty Mentor and the I&E in charge will be in constant communication in order to achieve the goal of promoting I&E inside the Faculty.
This Faculty Mentor would also have periodic meetings with the university's Innovation Department, in order to facilitate communication between schools and the I&E area.
These three components will be the base for promoting I&E around students.
By having not only a Student's Council member but also a Faculty member working constantly in each school, we could change the perspective that innovation is only for graduates or faculty members, but everyone that has an idea and that the university will provide help and assessment by the three components mentioned before.

== Fall 2021 Priorities ==

=== Strategy #1 “IPA talks (Impulsar, Profesionalizar, Aportar)” ===
===== Challenge: “How can we motivate to innovate, to motivate them to pursue these opportunities to create something new, so that they can take advantage of instances of participation?” =====

This project seeks to motivate and persuade every UAndes Student, since in order to commit, motivate and participate in I&E they need to be moved by this world.
The mission of "IPA talks" is to spread those ideas that are worth spreading, similar to TED talks, however they will be focused in the Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E) world. Every IPA talk will have a recognized figure related with I&E, who will share their experience (failures and success) and teaching different ways of how to implement our ideas and GET THEM DONE. Each one of these talks, will have a didactic activity (such as workshop simulations, brainstorming exercises, prototyping sessions, etc.), with the purpose to help students to apply their learning and to come up with an innovative way to make a change or improve it.

This project shall last at least 2 days, which will be destined as a priority event at the university. During this time, students and other university participants will have a wide variety of talks arranged for them to participate. This will helps at the same time, for every participant to have a better notion of how I&E is being implemented in their country.

We need this project in other to boost the creativity of our students so they could fulfill their projects an ideas, realizing that others have achieved it. Considering that in order to take a risk, it is necessary to have a sufficiently strong and deep motivation, which drives you to keep going despite failures.

With that being learned, the enthusiasm to undertake and innovate will increase and students will be motivated enough to truly participate and commit with the opportunities of I&E that the university has to offer.

=== Strategy #2 “Innova UANDES” ===
===== Challenge: “How can we motivate students to solve big and small problems within the university, through innovative practices??” =====

Innova UANDES it’s a long-term contest in which university students participate in teams of five members, regardless of the careers of the members, the only requirement is being University of Los Andes students.
The first weeks of the contest are more like classes to learn how to brainstorm and prototype. Then, the teams have the remaining time to find a problem within the university and try to solve it through the prototypes they must create.
In addition, the teams will have monthly meetings with the university's innovation and entrepreneurship department, in order to obtain feedback and make constant improvements.
Finally, the finalists have more time to improve their projects and try to execute them in a reduced scale.
The winner team has the possibility to implement their innovation with the help of the innovation and entrepreneurship department.
The most important and necessary thing to participate is to be motivated, want to improve some problem, and eager to learn.

=== Strategy #3 “ADS Innovation Day” ===
===== Challenge: “How can we involve students from Service Management with Innovation and Entrepreneurship?” =====

The purpose of the project '''"ADS Innovation Day"''', is to enable the students of Service Management (ADS) to discover and acquire knowledge related to innovation and entrepreneurship during an entire day. The main idea of this is to provide useful tools, tips, strategies that students are going to be able to during their life. Nevertheless, this is going to be possible through talks with special guests, workshops, activities, contests, and an entrepreneurship fair of different ventures. <br>
Some examples of activities can be to imagine designs for companies, ways to sell, improve the Employee & Customer Experience, use residues to create something new, the marshmallow challenge, etc. <br>
Furthermore, this project intends to make a memorable day that would help motivate ADS students to go farther and become change agents, using innovation to design new solutions for the campus, community, and the world. Also, this would facilitate undergraduates from different generations of ADS to gather and build new bonds between them, because now more than ever, students need to share with others after this prolonged pandemic, and this Innavotion day would be perfect for that.

=== Strategy #4 “Dejando Huella project” ===
===== Challenge: ¿How can we motivate students of Service Management to become agents of social change??” =====

The following project has three stages: training of change agents, creation of social projects and open to volunteers.
The first stage is the training agent of change, where they have to select between five to ten students who want to be agents of change and have a positive impact around them. Once they are chosen, the idea is that they can have a couple of training sessions so that they can be trained personally.

The second stage is the stage of creating a social project, where these students work as a team looking for places and creating a specific solution to the most studied need. For this, the idea is to use design thinking tools to create a value proposition and also, with the support of the ADS School.

The third stage would be the launch stage of the project in order to look for volunteers who want to participate in the way they can.

Finally, it is important to note that the idea of the project is that all those who participate, organizers and volunteers, and use all the knowledge they have learned throughout the race. For example: helping to professionalize the enterprises of mothers of families living in poor social-economic conditions, professionalizing the cleaning service in low-income hospitals, creating an innovative solution for children in low-income schools, etc.
The objective is to offer a social project that is only offered by Service Administration and therefore, it must have the ADS seal.

== Overview ==
Universidad de los Andes, also known as UANDES, is a non-profit catholic university located in Santiago de Chile. It was founded on September 8th, 1989 by a group of academic professionals and outstanding businessman. It follows the actual Chilean Higher Education Legislation not only in the way they function but also in the way they teach.
The university's original purpose was: “to elaborate an organic and universal synthesis of the human culture, that integrates the dispersion of the specialties in the radical unity of the truth, enlightened and invigorated by the Catholic faith”.

[[File:CAMPUS UANDES.jpg|center]]

Universidad de los Andes´ main purposes are:
* Academic Training
* Research and Innovation
* Outreach and Relationship with Society

== Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship ==
Universidad de los Andes is distinguished as the most innovative higher education institution in Chile. Moreover, it has been recognized with several awards for this accomplishment four years in a row. Nevertheless, the innovation and entrepreneurship concept is mostly promoted and transmitted by academics than the students. Even though the institution developed a competition that takes part every year, called “The Challengers”. During this contest, students from business, service management, engineering, and high school students, create different projects and present them in front of a jury. The winners get a finance fund in order to start their prototype project and an all-paid trip to an international destination. At the same time, there is the “Dirección de Innovación UANDES” (Innovation Center) which is the head of I&E at the institution, where you can get assessment and funding for your ideas and projects.
Another activity promoting I&E for students is the incentive to start working on their final thesis since junior year. The course of Speech therapy, for instance, has established this strategy.
== Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship ==
Today at Universidad de los Andes there are two powerful organisms with the function of promoting innovation and entrepreneurship. In the first place, there is the “Centro de Innovación Docente” (“Faculty Innovation Center”), which provides financing and support to teachers that have a project in mind, so they can develop it. As there is this support for teachers they are the ones who participate and live mostly I&E activities at the University. For this reason, these two topics are more promoted around faculty members than students.
On the other hand, there is the CIIB (Centro en Innovación e Inteligencia Biomédica) (“Biomedical intelligence and Innovation Center”) where students can carry out projects if they’re coursing a science or health degree. Although students have developed great social projects at the University, these are aimed at helping people rather than innovation itself. Therefore there are projects and students with the ability to create but not necessarily from innovation or entrepreneurship. The University also has the first place in Chilean innovation, but this award has been allocated to the university as an institution. So this means the university by itself is innovative, but not necessarily its students.
== Actively supporting the university technology transfer function ==
The technological transfer is defined as a concept where “Research transforms money into knowledge … technology transfer transforms knowledge into money.” (Geoffrey Nicholson, father of the Post-It).” https://ec.europa.eu/knowledge4policy/technology-transfer/what-technology-transfer_en Universidad de los Andes encourages this technical support only to those who have engineering and business courses (lab, external projects, etc). Those who are not focused on these particular studies do not receive this support. However, they tend to always keep up to date with their technology to promote and enhance even more each student's knowledge. Furthermore, Universidad de los Andes has reached out to different colleges around the world and has, throughout the years, developed partnerships that embrace innovation on campus. To name a few we have from Belgium, Australia, Canada, Spain, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and many more.
== Facilitating university-industry collaboration ==
UANDES promotes an innovative ecosystem through external relations. Nevertheless, students do not have any knowledge of it, nor exploit the opportunity they may provide in order to enhance I&E in the campus. One example of it is the huge number of international relations the institution has to establish innovative alliances. The upper named universities are the ones, which UANDES has as partners. For instance, Stanford University and their UIF Programm. This chance was offered by a faculty mentor, however, students do not have a direct link nor acquaintance of these alliances.
== Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts ==
In order to engage with regional and local economic development, Universidad de los Andes promotes the following initiatives. In the first place, the institution is part of the FDI (Fondo de Desarrollo Institucional) “National Fund for Institutional Development”, a government's initiative that offers to fund different projects that create faculty members and higher education students in the country. At the same time, the university has a department called Vida Universitaria (University´s Life), where you can get funding for your projects, but only if they are willing to support the idea.

UANDES offers interesting initiatives pro-innovation and entrepreneurship, nevertheless, there are still many aspects in which it is possible to improve, keep going, and honor this Chilean university.

== Overview ==
Universidad de los Andes (also known as UANDES) is a non-profit catholic university located in Santiago de Chile. It was founded on September 8th, 1989 by a group of academic professionals and outstanding businessmen. It follows the actual Chilean Higher Education Legislation not only in the way they function but also in the way they teach.
The university's original purpose was: “to elaborate an organic and universal synthesis of the human culture, that integrates the dispersion of the specialties in the radical unity of the truth, enlightened and invigorated by the Catholic faith”.

[[File:CAMPUS UANDES.jpg|center]]

Universidad de los Andes´ main purposes are:
* Academic Training
* Research and Innovation
* Outreach and Relationship with Society
== Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship ==
Universidad de los Andes is distinguished as the most innovative higher education institution in Chile. Moreover, it has been recognized with several awards for this accomplishment four years in a row. Nevertheless, the innovation and entrepreneurship concept is mostly promoted and transmitted by academics than the students. Even though the institution developed a competition that takes part every year, called “The Challengers”. During this contest, students from business, service management, engineering, and high school students, create different projects and present them in front of a jury. The winners get a finance fund in order to start their prototype project and an all-paid trip to an international destination. At the same time, there is the “Dirección de Innovación UANDES” (Innovation Center) which is the head of I&E at the institution, where you can get assessment and funding for your ideas and projects.
Another activity promoting I&E for students is the incentive to start working on their final thesis since junior year. The course of Speech therapy, for instance, has established this strategy.
== Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship ==
Today at Universidad de los Andes there are two powerful organisms with the function of promoting innovation and entrepreneurship. In the first place, there is the “Centro de Innovación Docente” (“Faculty Innovation Center”), which provides financing and support to teachers that have a project in mind, so they can develop it. As there is this support for teachers they are the ones who participate and live mostly I&E activities at the University. For this reason, these two topics are more promoted around faculty members than students.
On the other hand, there is the CIIB (Centro en Innovación e Inteligencia Biomédica) (“Biomedical intelligence and Innovation Center”) where students can carry out projects if they’re coursing a science or health degree. Although students have developed great social projects at the University, these are aimed at helping people rather than innovation itself. Therefore there are projects and students with the ability to create but not necessarily from innovation or entrepreneurship. The University also has the first place in Chilean innovation, but this award has been allocated to the university as an institution. So this means the university by itself is innovative, but not necessarily its students.
== Actively supporting the university technology transfer function ==
The technological transfer is defined as a concept where “Research transforms money into knowledge … technology transfer transforms knowledge into money.” (Geoffrey Nicholson, father of the Post-It).” https://ec.europa.eu/knowledge4policy/technology-transfer/what-technology-transfer_en Universidad de los Andes encourages this technical support only to those who have engineering and business courses (lab, external projects, etc). Those who are not focused on these particular studies do not receive this support. However, they tend to always keep up to date with their technology to promote and enhance even more each student's knowledge. Furthermore, Universidad de los Andes has reached out to different colleges around the world and has, throughout the years, developed partnerships that embrace innovation on campus. To name a few we have from Belgium, Australia, Canada, Spain, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and many more.
== Facilitating university-industry collaboration ==
UANDES promotes an innovative ecosystem through external relations. Nevertheless, students do not have any knowledge of it, nor exploit the opportunity they may provide in order to enhance I&E in the campus. One example of it is the huge number of international relations the institution has to establish innovative alliances. The upper named universities are the ones, which UANDES has as partners. For instance, Stanford University and their UIF Programm. This chance was offered by a faculty mentor, however, students do not have a direct link nor acquaintance of these alliances.
== Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts ==
In order to engage with regional and local economic development, Universidad de los Andes promotes the following initiatives. In the first place, the institution is part of the FDI (Fondo de Desarrollo Institucional) “National Fund for Institutional Development”, a government's initiative that offers to fund different projects that create faculty members and higher education students in the country. At the same time, the university has a department called Vida Universitaria (University´s Life), where you can get funding for your projects, but only if they are willing to support the idea.

UANDES offers interesting initiatives pro-innovation and entrepreneurship, nevertheless, there are still many aspects in which it is possible to improve, keep going, and honor this Chilean university.

Resource talk:How to use your UIF skills to become a badass in any industry

2021-09-03T21:41:22Z

Domi.mandiola:

Very good text, I am glad to know that the tools uif delivers, will be useful in the future at work. Especially if they will be of help to understand the needs or inconveniences of the clients, I think it is something very important and difficult to achieve. I also loved the phrase about the importance of listening to learn, so wise! So I hope to became a badass same day haha.
Carolina Orueta.

I think that this article is badass. The fact that I can take these skills from design thinking and social innovation into my career in the future? Amazing. Reading through this article, I found it intriguing that the process is ongoing as opposed to traditional learning styles. Overall, the industries that UIF members go into will be welcoming badasses left and right. -ethan paras

[[Category:This had great information. It is great to know that the skills we learn through our training will have major impact on the decisions we make not only in business, but in our everyday lives. I also believe that mastering the art of listening will take this experience to a completely different level as we innovate and create to make the world a better place.-Jatavion Jackson]]

I think it'a an interestig article because it shows the value of UIF, and also it shows me that everything i'm learning it's going to be usefull in my future job. That its really amazing because i don't actually understand everything about the UIF program, but this makes me be more convinced that this is where i need to be... i want to learn and be a real badass. - Dominga Mandiola.

== Empathy when designing ==

This text is so interesting because it focuses on listening to other's in order to be successful. This idea is often overlooked when listing attributes, however, it is so important. By using empathy and getting to the root of the problem, the solution that is created from this will be so much more successful and really solve the problem. By using the Design Thinking Process, one can learn to avoid jumping to conclusions and instead sitting in the mess and the unknown of a problem in order to find the best way to solve it. Great article!

I love this article because it articulates the value of UIF. It is important for higher education to have a value beyond education itself. It must prepare us for working life. I think the value that we get out of UIF will not only help us in our future, but the design thinking approach will help us make change on our campus so that this mindset of design thinking begins to permeate higher education on a broad scale. -- Benjamin Lukens, Fordham 2023

The author clearly articulated many advantages of the program. As one who is about to start the program, I'm excited to adapt my thinking to become one that makes a difference in the community and in the lives of those around me. Let's see what changes we can make! - Andrew Varvara, University of Tulsa 2022
