Above and beyond offering new solutions to new problems, innovation is also a creative look at reality. This sets innovation processes apart from improve-ment processes.

The culture of innovation helps make companies more creative. They are then better able to spot the most powerful trends for change and spy new hori-zons to explore as they reinvent themselves.

Twenty-first century universities cannot merely react to change; they have to set trends and help blaze trails in society through unexplored terrain, which is where the added value of excellence is increasingly found.

For the third year in succession, the UOC has bene-fited from the expertise of the O2i (Open Innovation Office) to drive innovation at the heart of the univer-sity community and create new ideas and projects in the field of online and ICT-based education.This report presents the work done.

Interconnection and collaboration are now the mechanisms driving technology, creating knowledge and wealth and promoting social progress. In the digital age, the main challenge facing universities is to be more connected than ever to the world and to make collaboration with society (companies, organisations, government administrations, etc.) a permanent dimension to their activities.

The O2i (Open Innovation Office) has always worked closely with groundbreaking institutions and compa-nies in the ICT industry. In turn, it makes its creative skills and the findings of its innovative activity availa-ble to the university world and social and economic sectors.

This report reflects this potential at the service of society and has been prepared not as a profit and loss account, but as a meeting point to encourage dialogue. Dr. Pablo LaraDirector of Innovation at the UOC

brary” by Marc Recasens, took shape with the support of the Open

Innovation Office and led to Ubidi, a decentralised, collaborative

service for exchanging books within a community of over 60,000
