The University Innovation Fellows program empowers students to become leaders of change in higher education. Fellows are leading a global movement to ensure that all students gain the attitudes, skills and knowledge required to navigate a complex world. These student leaders from schools around the world create new opportunities that help their peers develop an entrepreneurial mindset, build creative confidence, seize opportunities, define problems and address global challenges.Fellows are creating student innovation spaces, founding entrepreneurship organizations, hosting experiential events, and working with faculty and administrators to develop courses. They serve as advocates for lasting institutional change with academic leaders and represent their schools at national events.The University Innovation Fellows is a program of Stanford University’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school). The program was created as part of the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter), a five-year National Science Foundation grant (2011-2016), and became part of the d.school in July 2016.

"The program aims to provide 15 to 17 years old students with practical experience in developing entrepreneurial skills through the building of a company. Each company, run by young entrepreneurs, sets its own objectives, chooses a product or service to produce and completes the entire cycle that includes the creation, administration, production, and liquidation of a real company. The project is carried out over 17 weeks, in which young people meet at the Board of Directors for 1 hour and a half. They are accompanied by teachers and volunteers in the roles of institutional coordinators, junior advisors, senior advisors, and auditors."Information provided by the webpage of DESEM Jóvenes Emprendedores (http://www.desem.org.uy/formacion-emprendedora/)
