Emprendimiento Sostenible de Base Tecnológica: creación de modelos de negocio competitivos en el marco de los ODS

El entorno de competitividad empresarial evoluciona rápidamente hacia el paradigma del desarrollo sostenible. Actualmente se ve afectado por fuertes exigencias sociales y medioambientales canalizadas a través de la responsabilidad moral de las empresas y sus gestores/as, las peticiones la sociedad y sus grupos de interés, y las nuevas y futuras regulaciones impuestas por las administraciones públicas. El curso responde a la necesidad de conocer las claves de creación de modelos de negocio social y medioambientalmente sostenibles que den respuesta a estas nuevas exigencias.

Análisis biomolecular de la biodiversidad vegetal: la solución adaptativa de las plantas al cambio climático

El objetivo general de este curso es enseñar la aplicación de las herramientas de biología molecular al estudio de la biodiversidad vegetal de cultivos de interés agronómico. Este curso se enmarca dentro de las actividades propuestas por la comunidad EELISA Green Planet.

The role of engineering in the new European innovation framework

European innovation projects aim to build the EU that we all want to live in. This course sets out to acquaint engineers with the singularities of innovation projects, innovation project workteams, consortia formation, the rules of the game of major European calls, as well as the roles of engineers, the national contact points and the evaluating experts. The EELISA project and the Discovery Community will serve as an example.

Quality assurance and professional accreditation of engineering educational programmes

This EUR-ACE accreditation training workshop aims to prepare well-qualified engineering degree programme accreditation experts. This training course is delivered by experts who are certified accreditation evaluators and trainers. Participants who successfully complete this course will be ready to prepare their respective universities for international degree programme accreditation (including, but not limited to, the EUR-ACE certificate).

Service-Learning. A tool learn and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals

Smart healthcare uses the latest mobile and digital technologies to make advances in health systems. The course aims to bring together representative ofall health ecosystem stakeholders to meet students from different branches of knowledge taught at UPM to discuss possible solutions to unsatisfied urban healthcare needs.

How to set up a citizen laboratory(CL)?

Citizen laboratories (CL) provide meeting places for cooperation, experimentation and collaborative prototyping of projects that seek to improve life together. Citizen laboratories are a model of institution that facilitates the creation of citizen science projects. Institutions that we have inherited such as universities, libraries, town halls, schools or health centers, can enable stable programs of citizen laboratories for the development of projects open to any participation and that seek to improve life together.
