The goal is to mentor them in the research powering many field of the innovations entrepreneurship, whether they have an idea or already have a business in place. From that spawn high-growth startups. Howeverpoint, even at our nation’s most entrepreneurial universities, many faculty and graduate students do not always consider they meet with experts who guide them through the subsequent steps in the market and societal relevance of their researchbest possible way. To address this issueIf the experts see potential in that idea or business, universities are putting they assist in place a series securing external funding from sources outside of policy changes UTEC to bring that idea to encourage more faculty entrepreneurship, which in turn will complement the student entrepreneurshipfruition. These changes include greater recognition of faculty entrepreneursRecently, integrating entrepreneurship into the faculty tenure and selection processmany campuses have introduced modern infrastructure, and increasing faculty connections to outside partners including co- through externshipsworking spaces that students, engagement with businessprofessors, and targeted resources for startup creation. Finally, universities are actively working with federal agencies to address in some of the regulatory challenges around faculty entrepreneurship, in particularcases, those related community members can use to conflict of interest and national security issuesdevelop their ideas or network.''
While it doesn't seem as though it directly impacts you, the extent to which faculty are encouraged to innovate and pursue entrepreneurial pathways really does help determine the extent to which they will encourage students to explore their innovative and entrepreneurial potential. Encouragement at the faculty level is one of the things that differentiates more developed I&E ecosystems. Under the "=Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship" category, please provide a succinct view of whether faculty are supported to be entrepreneurial or commercialize their research.=
= Actively supporting This sector is similar to the university technology transfer function =previous one; the difference lies in that these are already advanced and 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).
''University Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) and Technology Licensing Offices (TLO) have traditionally been the hubs within universities where innovators and outside business leaders engage to commercialize inventions. The recent burst of entrepreneurship on campuses has greatly expanded the role of the TTOs and TLOs. Instead of merely focusing on the commercialization of individual technologies, these offices now act as a central point where students, faculty, alumni, entrepreneurs, investors, and industry can connect with each other. These offices are now focused on identifying and =Actively supporting entrepreneurship on campus, helping startups find the best opportunities and building successful business models, changing the culture of their universities, and creating companies that will be based in the communities around the university. TTOs and TLOs have also expanded support beyond their traditional areas, such as energy and life sciences, into education, social innovation, and agriculture.''technology transfer function=

''Businesses and industry benefit greatly from university research and innovation. Universities are constantly looking for ways to connect their research and students’ education to emerging industry interests.

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 local economic development efforts =share our different traditions.
''Historically, local economic development has been an important mission of the nation’s large universities[[File:UTEC Global. Many of America’s leading universities, particularly land-grant universities, have always felt a strong responsibility for the betterment of their surrounding communitiespng|thumb|UTEC Global|link=Special:FilePath/UTEC_Global. These days, universities are increasingly focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship as key contributors to the growth and success of local communities. Universities are requesting the federal government to include commercialization and innovation-driven economic development 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 and overcome their weaknesses through partnerships with community colleges, non-profit economic development agencies, governments, and entrepreneurship groups. Some universities, such as Tulane University, are asking their students and faculty to contribute 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 prosper.''png]]
The "Spin Out" section of your Landscape Canvas also reveals the extent to which the University is engaging with regional and local economic development efforts. Many campuses also have an economic development office and staff whose responsibility it is to leverage the University's research and development for positive local economic benefit.=International Relations Unit=

andThe Regional Technological Institutes (ITRs, by its acronym in Spanish) are the manifestation of UTEC in the territory (the campus).They are located on different regions in the country, based on the local needs for higher education in each place. They are the centers that manage the activities in the region; in order to create a dialogue with the environment, through a strong decentralized profesional path.
Hyperlink When UTEC was first created its main focus was to decentralize centers of higher education in the name of every UIF who has ever gone through country from the capital. At the program time all uruguayan students could mostly do if they wanted to pursue a college career was to move to Montevideo, and point people to their wiki biostudy there. This drastically changed with the arrival of UTEC. List them Its first institution was built in reverse chronological orderthe southwest part of the country, Fray Bentos. Use headings Since then on, all ITRs built have been following the same path and have been designed to separate cohorts like this "Fall 2017:'fit the communities they were built around. Here's an example:
Spring 2016: [[Ann Delaney]]In UTEC centers don't focus on just one area with a fixed list of careers, since its purpose is to provide more access to education, in each building you can have very different careers from different departments.
There are many centers throughout the country that belong to UTEC, where the faculty's offices and the 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:
