Abstract

Innovative pedagogical methodologies are becoming increasingly applicable in the context of higher education. In this cocreation project, multidisciplinary teams of students, companies/organizations' representatives, and teachers focus on finding solutions to real problems. The project also involves the training of teachers to play the role of facilitator, stimulating and conducting a concrete project of collaborative creation of innovation. This chapter aims to present the impact of the second edition of this project from the facilitators' perspective that took place in a higher education institution in Portugal, the Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal, from September 2021 to February 2022. Main results reveal the possibility of increasing students' proactivity, highlighting the perception of increased capacity building in communication and collaboration; increased relationship between the academy and the embedded context, stimulating partnerships with stakeholders in the region; and boosting international work, favoring internationalization processes at home, even in a pandemic context.
