== Fall 2020 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 “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 #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.

Florencia.ramirez98: /* Strategy #1 “Innovation Week” */

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

== Fall 2020 Priorities ==

=== Strategy #1 “IPA talks” ===
===== 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.

== 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

'''Members:'''
* Academic Staff: + 1880 professors
* Students: +10,100
* Undergraduates: +8,900
* Postgraduates: + 1,250

== Campus ==
The Universidad de los Andes has a 52-hectare campus which is located at the bottom of the Cordillera de los Andes.

== 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 is "UANDES Innovation Day"

== 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 the university is offering an Innovation Minor.. 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. Nevertheless, the university has become more engaged with facilitating this, offering scholarships and project funding, legal and academic support and the new innovation incubator.

== 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 and encourage to participate in Startup Chile.

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.

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”.

== Campus ==
The Universidad de los Andes has a 52-hectare campus which is located at the bottom of the Cordillera de los Andes.

== 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 is "UANDES Innovation Day"

== 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 the university is offering an Innovation Minor.. 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. Nevertheless, the university has become more engaged with facilitating this, offering scholarships and project funding, legal and academic support and the new innovation incubator.

== 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.
