Changes

<br/><span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The number of professors and faculty members fostering innovation and entrepreneurship has been growing in the last couple of years. This whole new spirit lead to the creation of Initium. This center has created different courses and workshops stimulating students and professors to develop new skills and attitudes with an innovation and entrepreneurship mindset. It is also a place for connection between students, alumni entrepreneurs, accelerators and other extracurricular entities.There are also other courses that stimulate innovation in their areas, such as Engineering Labs or Investment Projects for example.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-78a82846-53f9-3f3e-ff2a-144d024916ef"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One problem we can see at our university is the information provided to students and the way to encourage the I&E activities. While working on session 3, we did not find many ways of marketing in the "discover" item. This means that although the offer of innovation and entrepreneurship is varied, communication does not reach students efficiently. Many times what happens is that the students themselves do not pay attention to the graphic material on campus, or the emails sent with invitations to contests.</span></span></span>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: medium;">In the thread of encouraging the I&E information available (strategy 5), and considering other problems related to communication that our university faces, we thought that creating a platform or phone App could improve the situation.</span>
