Transformation of the environment

through innovation, entrepreneurship and active collaboration with socioeconomic actors

We want to become an institution that transforms the environment through innovation and the transfer of the excellent knowledge we generate. We want to transform the economic and social environment over the next decade through the major projects that our institution has already initiated, as well as through any projects associated with new opportunities that may emerge in the coming years. We want to become a collaborative institution that attracts companies, resources and talent by partnering actively with socio-economic actors. We want to become an entrepreneurial University focused on generating a positive impact on the economy and society.

Innovation and transformation of our environment with a gender perspective

In order to transform our environment through innovation, entrepreneurship and active collaboration with socioeconomic actors, it is essential to apply a special sensitivity to the consideration of gender equality and respect for sexual, bodily and gender diversity as fundamental values. A comprehensive transformation requires partnerships with public and private institutions that promote specific intervention projects in our environment to empower girls and women. Changing our environment involves generating synergies with socio-economic actors which will facilitate the transfer of research results with a gender and feminist perspective and will, in turn, contribute to improving the situation of the most vulnerable social sectors.
