Abstract

The process of social transformation is manifested within a university inserted in the context of the Second Academic Revolution, which assumes the additional condition of contributions from the First Academic Revolution. The objective of this research work is to analyze how the process of social innovation happens within a Higher Education Institution (HEI) and to propose a facilitating roadmap to promote social transformation, through the implementation of university extension activities. The methodology is characterized by qualitative-quantitative research of an exploratory nature, through a case study with interviews with managers, a focus group and the application of a questionnaire with the school community, performing a content analysis supported by documents available on academic platforms. The results show the potential for social influence that an HEI can exert around its region, acquiring an important role in the process of training students and transforming the local community. Thus, this work contributes by launching a roadmap capable of being a tool in stimulating social innovation within HEIs, enabling the management of university extension activities, as well as proposing a new way of applying knowledge for common benefit, by stimulating entrepreneurship and social innovation in favor of economic and social development.
