Local knowledge helps generate social innovations. Universities, which are part of the territorial innovation system, are important in creating innovations, but their role in diffusing social innovations is less well known. The social policies established in Ecuador have given rise to different social innovations. In particular, the metropolitan district of Quito, based on the metropolitan development plan from 2012 to 2022, has generated a process of social innovations of great interest. Local universities usually participate in the training process of the agents involved in the development of social innovation. In a complementary way, local universities can facilitate cooperation between these agents. Both are essential elements in the diffusion of innovation. This paper analyzes the importance of collaboration with universities to disseminate social innovations in the Metropolitan District of Quito, using a series of interviews. The results indicate that the lack of collaboration with the universities and the limited knowledge that exists in them hampered the practical development of the plan and its effectiveness. 2021-05-06 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:ar-repo/semantics/artículo info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12219/3577 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/https://doi.org/10.36995/j.visiondefuturo.2021.26.01.004.en info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/urn/https://revistacientifica.fce.unam.edu.ar/index.php/visiondefuturo/article/view/509/700 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf application/pdf 375.2 KB Universidad Nacional de Misiones.
