There are more and more public universities in Latin America that are committed to promoting innovation projects through the constitution of ecosystems where research and the business sector coexist. One of them is the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, whose managers have visited today the University of Valencia Science Park to take references in the management of this type of scientific and technological facilities.
The vicerector and the dean of the UNC at the Manizales headquarter, Germán Albeiro Castaño and Juan Manuel Castaño, with professor Pablo Felipe Marín, have toured the three buildings where our business area is installed and the seven research centers that take part of the Parc.
They were accompanied by the director of the Science Park, Juan Antonio Raga, who believes that "it is part of our task to explain how we have designed a complex that did not exist six years ago." According to Raga, "there are no magic formulas because each academic institution must develop these types of projects, taking into account their territorial reality and the areas of innovation promoted by the university in question. However, it is good to take examples as we did in goals that we set. "
