Social Technology, University and Society: The Extension Space as Strategic Policy

Assuming that universities, through extension activities, can be strategic spaces for the generation and replication of new social technologies, we conducted an exploratory survey and case study in UNIOESTE, together with program coordinators and extension projects, looking capture the characteristics of social entrepreneurship and social technology in these outreach activities. 27 programs and 208 extension projects registered, 11 program coordinators and project coordinators were 86 respondents, where 40% of extension projects are characterized as fully social entrepreneurship and 46% as a social technology, which is reinforced with crossing other data. We conclude that the university, from the extension, shown as a strategic space in the generation of social innovation, incubation, and application of new technologies and social future social policies more efficiently and effectively.
