Speakers and their topics

Mercedes Bravo Rebolledo: Ingenious Scouts: Mapping the INGENIUM Alliance through Entrepreneurship

This session presents a pedagogical module designed to introduce students to our partner universities not through brochure, but through active market research. She will demonstrate how students are tasked with identifying “pain points” for incoming students on partner campuses and creating business ventures to solve them, culminating in a 3-minute video pitch. Her goal for this session is to share this framework and also find colleagues within the Alliance who would be interested in collaborating to help assess these final student pitches.

As an Educator, Mercedes Bravo Rebolledo champions a highly collaborative, cross-border approach to teaching. She specializes in transitioning curricula toward skill-based assessments and leveraging digital tools to create dynamic, student-centered learning environments. Firmly believing that innovation thrives on shared knowledge, Mercedes actively participates in European Staff Academies, working alongside international and interdisciplinary peers to transform how students experience and connect with their partner universities
