March 15th, 2022
The initiative aims to finance educational innovations emerging from the research of UC Doctorate in Education students. Applications will be open until April 15.
When investigating topics as central to society as education, it is very important that the results go beyond books and papers academics and impact the students of the system, teachers, kindergartens, schools, government agencies, tertiary education institutions, among other actors. This is what he is looking for “UC Education Transfer Contest”, an initiative that is developed for the third consecutive year and jointly between the Doctorate from the Faculty of Education of the UC, Center for the Study of Policy and Practice in Education (CEPPE UC) and the Transfer and Development Department, through EDULAB.
The purpose of the contest for UC Education Doctorate students is to reward theses in development and completed that seek to become educational innovations. Applications will be open until April 15..
This year the call has important innovations, according to the head of the program, Valeria Cabello: "In this third call, research teams can apply and, in addition, students or professors from other academic units can be integrated," he explains. “The idea is to promote teamwork and interdisciplinarity,” he adds.
The contest has two modalities: finished thesis, intended for graduates or students who are about to graduate, and ongoing theses, intended for doctoral candidates who want to generate innovation in their research topics. Each modality offers a monetary incentive of $500.000, work space and advice from CEPPE UC and EDULAB to develop educational innovation.
For Diego Caro, director of Edulab, “innovations that arise from doctoral projects have enormous potential and are backed by years of research. We have had very successful experiences in previous versions of the contest, so we invite you to participate in this new call." Among the projects previously approved are an information system for admission to higher education, a mediation model for literary reading, and a book to support writing in schools.
