| Summary: | As a structural pillar of an university of reference, innovation focuses on an efficient and effective action of knowledge and technology transfer to society. The University of Coimbra, as alma mater, is a proponent in Innovation and Entrepreneurship Management. The culture of innovation and entrepreneurship is nurtured by a transversal vision to all areas, since innovation is not only creativity. Innovation management is a process of mapping opportunities that delivers results with a view to value creation. Despite the decisive role of leadership in transforming an institution's culture of innovation, however, the traditional organic structure of the UC, as a whole, is cyclically invited to participate in this challenge. This challenge incorporates a call for an approach to the interdisciplinary principle, given the urgent need to bring ethical, moral and ecological principles closer to the business fabric. Just as entrepreneurship can be worked for the benefit of Society, in innovation, the climate is collaborative, of trust and, above all, of freedom. To the Knowledges conducted by the pipeline of the Support Office for Knowledge Transfers (GATS), Division of Innovation and Knowledge Transfers (DITS) and, currently UC Business, are added the intangible, immeasurable and intangible practices and assets of the soft skills of project managers. Leveraging the entrepreneurial and innovative capacity of the UC community has been, is and will be the main stimulus to the enhancement of the University itself beyond the borders of the region. The affirmation of the UC as a pillar of an emerging economic sector, which helps to revitalise Coimbra and the country is the challenge that moves us, based on decades of experience and with potential that we know we will achieve. |
