Why?
For years, the UGR has been committed to an entrepreneurship strategy built on the concept of Entrepreneurial University, as endorsed by the European Commission and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in models such as HEinnóvate, which promote universities with an innovative and entrepreneurial ethos. These efforts, although important, are not enough to address the UGR·s enormous potential for transfer, so it is crucial to continue promoting an entrepreneurial culture among students as well as teaching and research staff (PDI).
How?
By fostering an entrepreneurial culture among students and PDI. By promoting interactions with the regional, Spanish and international innovation ecosystems. By motivating and rewarding research staff who contribute to knowledge transfer and the creation of spin-offs. By encouraging entrepreneurship as a core component of the UGR. By partnering with economic actors to provide entrepreneurship training.
