A Valle of Knowledge

A project that arises from the RUPIV -Red de Universidades para la Innovación del Valle del Cauca-, formed by 12 universities of Valle del Cauca, among which is the Universidad del Valle. It seeks to strengthen research groups and articulate them with those between the company, the state and civil society, towards the consolidation of a Knowledge Economy. 

A Valle of Knowledge

Pilot Research, Volunteering and Social Solidarity Outreach

During the second semester of 2022 (September-December) a joint work was carried out with the students, who developed a theoretical-practical work in which they studied the relationship between the economic, social and environmental environment at local, regional and national levels. The ReCIDS (Colombian Network of Engineering and Social Development) and its interaction with the Revivo Community Association was taken as a case study.  

This seedbed was developed in 4 phases:

• Phase I: Dissemination and invitation of the social extension seedbed.
• Phase II: Social appropriation of knowledge.
• Phase III: Construction of proposals and work plans.
• Phase IV: Compilation of the results of the seedbed.

Create a profitable relationship with the graduates of the School of Engineering in terms of calls for proposals, support for procedures and applications, communications, employability, entrepreneurship management and relationship with Schools and Continuing Education.
