Entrepreneurship and Innovation Hub (E & I HUB) at UNISINOS

Unisinos University has been encouraging, in addition to the strong tradition of Christian social humanism, the development of technology-based research to contribute in real society problem solving and in order to align the strategic proposals of the region to the Science and Technology sector. The construction of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Hub (E&I Hub) started during the year 2010, based on discussions held by a group of Unisinos teachers of undergraduate and graduate specialists on the subject. Such discussions were fundamental to: (a) define the theoretical assumptions of an academic background in Entrepreneurship and Innovation; (b) verify what Unisinos already ministered at graduation in these areas; and (c) identify and briefly describe the experiences of some national and international universities on these two issues. Still in 2010, the E & I HUB was created by Resolution No. 22/2010 of the Comittee of Undergraduation Program to meet the dimensions of teaching Innovation and Entrepreneurship at undergraduation through the organization of three academic activities at that time.
