== '''Strategy #1: Raise awareness on students about '''I&E opportunities available at campus ==

=== Organize all I&E opportunities and offers in the same place within the university ===

At Uniandes students always try to find I&E opportunities and try to reach out but miserably fail when not finding anything at all, that's when they stop and the innovation never develops, not because we lack great ideas, but because we fail on knowing where to search. By organizing these clubs, we could increase the impact of the circles and facilitate<span style="font-size: small; background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the location of information or support for students in terms of the I&E ecosystem.

'''Tactics + Milestones:'''

#Proposal of a restructuration of the I&E ecosystem, favoring alliances, mergers, and reorganization.

#Facilitate access to mentoring in each faculty

#I&E Uniandes with ONE website and as a unique source of information

#Develop activities that help provide access to networking

=== Provide spaces where the people that live nearby the university can develop ideas ===

Uniandes's location used to be humble and with a high level of poverty, somewhat dangerous to walk around unaware. As for today, the location has evolved into a more secure place. Nevertheless, there's always room for improvement. As already said before, proyecto Fenicia is an Uniandes initiative where the institution seeks to involve the neighborhood inhabitants in an effort to generate positive impact on the with the University’s growth. Our idea is, the same as the last year's group, to open and generate spaces where neighbors share their problems and students have ideation spaces to manage and solve hands-on projects with a positive impact on the Uniandes immediate surroundings, which really puts the project in the Colombian context, in the hope to help the development of great projects that can be replicated.

Tactics + Milestones:

#Present the idea of a Fenicia Ideation center to the directives and to the neighborhood community

#Encourage students to be a part of the initiatives in their spare time (could eventually become an alternative instead of a thesis project or of participating as a TA in an academic investigation)

#Develop a system of positive incentives that can catalyzes the participation and learning of students in the Fenicia Ideation Space, such as credits or bonuses for solving specific problems for the community.

#Involve the Fenicia Ideation Space in courses where learning will be triggered by working with the community and where it will have a positive impact on the neighbors

=== Create interdepartment I&E competitions ===

Regarding the exploition of great opportunities, we believe the last groups idea is great , so why not repeat it? At Uniandes, every course that incorporates I&E into the formal learning curriculum is either of the Business, Design or Engineering department. Additionally, most competitions are for one or two departments. Creating interdepartment I&E competitions will allow the creation of synergies and will encourage the interchange of ideas and knowledge between students and will raise the viability of projects by questioning and challenging their assumptions.

Tactics + Milestones:

#Identification and involvement of I&E-prone teachers and courses in each department

#Create an inter-Disciplinary Teacher Council in order to organize and involve external groups and actors in the competition’s challenge (generate a challenge that exists in real-life)

#Ask all departments and the Dean of Students to spread the information to all students and offer incentives in order to engage them

#Facilitate the inscription of lone students who don’t know anyone in other careers by providing channels for them to meet others.

#Hold first competitions and then showcase alumni’s work in I&E to get students from all majors motivated and in sync with I&E.

=== Boost the number of activities regarding the I&E ecosystem ===

Uniandes somehow fails on having many activities regarding I&E that actually engage students with the participation circles, as students generally approach them with their own startups and business ideas. By boosting the number of activities surrounding the I&E ecosystem, students will become more engaged and will learn about such ecosystem. Plus, they will understand how it works and where to find information about the participation circles.

Tactics + Milestones:

#With the unification and organization of the participation circles, create better communication channels for the students

#Interview and interact with students to understand which types of activities would attract them to participate (competitions, summits, challenges, etc.)

#Begin communicating with all the faculties and start organizing and offering spaces and activities about I&E more frequently.
