Abstract


The innovation of the higher education has not only been a modern issue but it has also become a concern of university executives and academic bodies worldwide. This article synthetizes the experience of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) as promoter of Educational Innovation Groups in Europe. The learning experience of the UPM, of more than ten years, are transferred through a strategic and formative process in the teaching community of the Salesian Polytechnic University in Ecuador (SPU) in order to create Educational Innovation Groups. The conceptual proposal from “Working with People” (WWP) model and from Project-Based Learning, allow teachers develop project management competences to work on educational innovation and cooperative projects.
