Creation of the innovation hub [P4.S4.P1]
AIM: Significantly increase science-based innovation in the UC/UTFSM consortium in order to achieve global competitiveness and impact in fields like (but not restricted to) Electronics, Physics, Biotechnology and Environmental Engineering. In order to give support to this general goal, the project considers the creation of an open “co-societal” innovation hub with the participation of relevant stakeholders from the academia, industry, government, and the third sector at large to address collectively innovative solution to the most demanding shared concerns of society.
OBJECTIVES:
- Design and implementation of the computational collaborative platform WYN4i. Development of a task force in charge of the support in order to make the platform well known among entrepreneurs, companies, industries, etc., mainly (but not exclusively) from the mining, energy and environmental economic sectors, so that the members of those organizations get acquainted with this computational collaboration technology and start using it
- Design, development, and implementation of a marketing and dissemination plan, which allows enhancing the interaction of supply and demand of technology of scientific applications between the UC/UTFSM consortium and the industrial sector
- Training of the project team and academic leaders in the work methodology. Formation of a Business Council which include UTFSM, Government and Civil Society representatives. Implementation of Co Society Innovation Lab in Valparaíso and Santiago
