UTEC is a proposal of public education, with a technological profile, committed to the expansion of the higher education supply to the interior of Uruguay (the main idea was to settle or locate the University in the interior of the country); fostering the link with the productive environment and the promotion of the country's social and cultural development. This university has a wide and diverse list of available careers that include pregrade, grade and postgrade, while complementing them with many programs and courses to complete the student curricula.<p dir="ltr" style= Overview"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;"><br/p> =

The research you conducted for your Landscape Canvas corresponds to the 5 parameters. Your research will be most robust in this section (Discover, Learn and Experiment), related to "Promoting student =Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship."=

= Encouraging faculty innovation This sector is similar to the previous one; the difference lies in that these are already advanced and entrepreneurship =operational businesses requiring a different type of guidance on how to expand. This expansion includes various areas such as e-commerce, marketing, and social media. Additionally, they are connected with governmental entities or specific financing programs tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

''Faculty and doctoral graduate students conduct =Actively supporting the research powering many of the innovations that spawn high-growth startups. However, even at our nation’s most entrepreneurial universities, many faculty and graduate students do not always consider the market and societal relevance of their research. To address this issue, universities are putting in place a series of policy changes to encourage more faculty entrepreneurship, which in turn will complement the student entrepreneurship. These changes include greater recognition of faculty entrepreneurs, integrating entrepreneurship into the faculty tenure and selection process, and increasing faculty connections to outside partners - through externships, engagement with business, and targeted resources for startup creation. Finally, universities are actively working with federal agencies to address some of the regulatory challenges around faculty entrepreneurship, in particular, those related to conflict of interest and national security issues.''university technology transfer function=

= Facilitating universityIn this section, various types of in-industry collaboration =person gatherings were organized, with the participation of UTEC students from across Uruguay. In addition, specific conferences were held, focusing on environmental sustainability, with the aim of exploring what we can do to bring about sustainable change. UTEC also promotes cultural diversity by hosting some events that creates opportunities to connect and share our different traditions.

''Businesses and industry benefit greatly from university research and innovation[[File:UTEC Global. Universities are constantly looking for ways to connect their research and students’ education to emerging industry interestspng|thumb|UTEC Global|link=Special:FilePath/UTEC_Global. In recent years, universities have put greater emphasis on supporting startup companies, while continuing to engage established companies that have traditionally been their licensing partners. To facilitate greater collaboration and innovation, universities are opening up their facilities, faculty, and students to businesses (small and large) in the hopes of creating greater economic value. Universities are strategically partnering with companies, offering internships and externships, sharing facilities with startups, such as accelerators, and creating venture funds and incentive programs funded by industry, all of which drive increased innovation and product development by university students, faculty, and staff.''png]]

= Engaging The International Relations Unit promotes and maintains links with regional foreign institutions and organizations that strengthen academic and research activity through networks of universities, research centers and international organizations, academic exchanges and local economic development efforts =joint programs.

''HistoricallyInternationalization in its broadest sense and integrated to management, local economic development has been an important mission of the nation’s large universities. Many of America’s leading allows universities, particularly land-grant universities, have always felt a strong responsibility for the betterment of their surrounding communities. These days, universities are increasingly focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship as key contributors to the growth and success be part of local communities. Universities are requesting the federal government to include commercialization and innovation-driven economic development international trends in their grant programs. In addition, regional economic development planning now often starts with an assessment of a local university’s research strengths. In turn, universities are seeking partners to supplement their strengths education and overcome their weaknesses through partnerships with community collegeslearning, non-profit economic development agencies, governments, and entrepreneurship groups. Some universities, such as Tulane University, are asking well as to provide all their students and faculty with the necessary resources to contribute make a positive contribution to local community development through service and projects. Others, such as North Carolina State University, are building innovation-driven campuses that help surrounding cities and communities prospersociety.''

Hyperlink When UTEC was first created its main focus was to decentralize centers of higher education in the country from the capital. At the time all uruguayan students could mostly do if they wanted to pursue a college career was to move to Montevideo, and study there. This drastically changed with the arrival of UTEC. Its first institution was built in the southwest part of the country, Fray Bentos. Since then on, all ITRs built have been following:the same path and have been designed to fit the communities they were built around.

There are many centers throughout the country that belong to UTEC, where the faculty's offices andthe classrooms are located. Each center belongs to a subgroup in the university according to its location, this groups are the ITRs. There are currently three well established (although still growing) ITRs, and a fourth one that is still being implemented (athough already working). The ITRs and their assigned centers are the following:
