Social Innovation in Higher Education: Landscape, Practices, and Opportunities
As Professor of Information Technology, with an academic experience of more than twenty-five years, my whole career was dedicated to pursuing the vision of transformation in higher education. My recent experience as Dean of the Faculty of Economics of Sapienza University of Rome during the pandemic helped me to deeply understand the tools that can be used for digital teaching and to understand the fundamental role that these tools can play in a normal situation, too. My hope is
that, as soon as we will return to a normal situation, this digital heritage will not be lost, and we will understand how to exploit its potential to improve the learning process and transform existing educational models and practices for greater use by society.
The recent innovations in products, processes, and business models, doubled by the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, are reshaping the higher education approach to entrepreneurship, emphasizing the greater relevance of the social and local dimensions of innovation. In the last decade, innovation and entrepreneurship were boosted by digital technologies, connecting people to the Internet of Things, big and open data, and crowd sourcing platforms. Thanks to new ICT instruments or to a more efficient, sustainable, and fair use of existing ICT tools, higher education institutions are stimulated by new ways of collaborating, creating, and sharing knowledge and resources with the outside world that ultimately lead to innovation and growth.
