MAPEAMENTO DAS INOVAÇÕES GERADAS PELOS PRODUTOS ELABORADOS NO PROFNIT PONTO FOCAL UFRR

Abstract

Innovation in the public sector can be seen through different approaches and permeated by institutions dedicated to this purpose. In the meantime, universities play a significant part in this contribution through professional master's degrees, which are responsible for the development of technical products that develop solutions to face contemporary challenges in a creative way. The present work aims to map the technical technological products coming from the dissertations of the Postgraduate Program in Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer for Innovation - PROFNIT in the period from 2019 to 2023, Focal point UFRR, carrying out a classification of the types of innovation as defined in the Oslo Manual (2018). To achieve this end, research with a qualitative approach of an exploratory nature was carried out, in two stages: bibliographical research and analysis of the UFRR focal point database. We identified 39 (thirty-nine) products created by graduates in the various innovation segments. Most of the products produced fall into the category of "Product Innovation", being predominantly represented by Manuals and Technical Reports. Although the presence of products focused on innovation in intellectual property and technology has been limited, it is understandable that all of these products incorporate innovative elements, given the assumptions underlying each one, even if they perform specific functions.
