Project IMPALA progresses at the Congreso Universidad 2020
As part of the 12th international education congress – Congreso Universidad 2020 taking place at La Havana – Cuba, IMPALA project progresses are being presented. Mabelin Armenteros, vice-chancellor at Universidad Agraria de la Habana and Marcela Del Campo, director at the extension division at Universidad Catolica de Colombia present the session “Impala Project: An approximation to measuring universities’ third mission impact.”
The session illustrates its attendees the way in which a project’s structure contributes to building a reference framework to measure impact. Alternatively, achieved outcomes are also presented along with progresses from phases 1 and 2 plus project proposals aiming at piloting indicators built for the 9 third mission’s typologies, from the social, environmental, gnoseological and economical dimensions. Finally, the presenters share fundamental learnings for permanent project co-construction.
It is expected that this project takes place as a response to one of university extension challenges: Third mission, which ultimately measures this fundamental function’s impact at the university.
