= STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE I&E ECOSYSTEM (2022) =https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvWj2fTp8Wc&t=27s<br />
== '''Strategy #1- CantINa INclusiva & INnovadora-IN^3- (Inclusive and innovative canteen)''' ==
After meticulously analyzing the LAndscape Canvas we created, the fact that there was a very poor Innovation and Entrepreneurship culture among students caught our attention.
'''We will follow the incoming steps:'''
* '''Step #1:''' schedule a meeting with the person in charge of the University's canteen.* '''Step #2:''' interview the Nutrition career director (Margarita Núñez). * '''Step #3:''' interview the Student Affairs´ director. * '''Step #4:''' create a communication campaign aiming at the Nutrition students, and motivate them to be part of the activity.
<br />
== '''Strategy #2- “Experience”''' ==
Having investigated all the areas of the university, we could realize there are just a few instances where students apply what they learn in their specific subjects, working with partners from different careers.
<br />
== '''Strategy #3- Entrepreneurship Splash''' ==
Thanks to our own student experience and the interviews we had with Ithaka during week 3. We noticed that although the university has courses on innovation and entrepreneurship, in which practical work is carried out, there is no possibility of doing something in the real world (within what the course offers).
'''We will follow the incoming steps:'''
* '''Step #1:''' Have a meeting with the manager of the Ithaka incubator and with the director of Academic Programs where we will present our idea and what we want to achieve* '''Step #2:''' get to know the interest of the students for this new program to evaluate if it is worth continuing with the project, to make changes, etc.* '''Step #3:''' Meet with the Practicum department to plan the prior management that will be done when assigning students to certain projects
== '''Strategy #4- “SIF” (Society´s Innovation Fellows)''' ==
After seeing all the courses and careers that our university has, we notice that just a few are committed to help the community, mostly elective ones, and in which the students always work on a structured project, with almost no time or possibility to innovate in the expected solution.
'''We will follow the incoming steps:'''
* '''Step #1:''' Create a presentation where we show all the society's problems we could solve by innovating and/or using the Design thinking method, how we would do it and what we need. Then present this project to the BERIT and IthaKa directors, and to the UCU authorities in order to know their opinion about it.* '''Step #2:''' Ask former BERIT courses students what they think about this project and if they would participate.* '''Step #3:''' Select a few (2-4) actual society’s problems and create an elective course where students can work on a solution for those problems. In order to promote the students participation we would create different promotions (via UCU university life Instagram, the WebAsignatura Portal, and in the campus spaces) of these courses.
