Innovation Network - CLIK - Center for Learning Innovation and Knowledge (UPF)

The Innovation Network is an ecosystem dedicated to quality and pedagogical transformation at UPF. Coordinated by the Innovation Managers of each faculty, the Vice-Rectorate for Academic Planning, and CLIK, it drives educational improvement strategies through cooperation between academic units and external institutions. Its work focuses on fostering teaching innovation projects and the implementation of best practices, establishing quality standards, encouraging pedagogical renewal, and analyzing trends in higher education. It also acts as a benchmark for innovation and didactic application, facilitating interaction between experts inside and outside UPF, enhancing teaching quality, and conducting research to advance the educational field.

The UPF Innovation Network, consisting of the innovation managers of the eight faculties/schools and the CLIK, invites you to participate in the “Enxarxa’t” (Network!) project: a new call to action for teachers who want to grow collaboratively and innovate in the classroom via a format that combines training, experimentation and research applied to classes.

Network with a community of teachers who want to explore, try things out, and evaluate new educational approaches!

How does it work?

1. Training (1-2 sessions):

2. Application in the classroom:

Each teacher puts into practice the knowledge learned in training with their students.

3. Share: feedback and reflection:

Space for discussion and sharing results and learning.
Optional: data collection to improve and document educational practice.

Enxarxa't with Less is more: little things in the classroom to improve student motivation and learning ( EXI202526-2)

We propose rethinking our way of teaching based on a simple principle: small changes can bring about great results. This philosophy invites you to implement small actions based on scientific evidence to make a big impact in the classroom.

We propose incorporating micro-actions of about 5 minutes in duration (for example, at the start and/or end of the class) that help students activate previous knowledge, focus their attention and consolidate what has been learned. They are short, simple and sustainable practices, applicable to any teaching style or discipline, that have a real impact on student motivation and involvement.
This call encourages teachers of any subject to put them into practice to maximize learning and make the most of face-to-face classes.

Join the call!

Duration and format:

Session 1: presentation. 5 February 2026, from 1.00 pm to 2.30 pm (face-to-face).
Session 2: sharing the proposal and queries. 11 March 2026, from 1.30 pm until 3.00 pm
Session 3: closure. Date and format to be confirmed with participants

Coordinated by:

Elisabeth Moyano Claramunt, of the Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences.
With the participation of Paula Paragis and Pilar Larramona Léndez, of the Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences.

Espais i responsables d'innovació

Els responsables d’innovació són les persones encarregades dels temes relacionats amb la innovació educativa de cadascuna de les facultats.

Les funcions dels responsables d’innovació són les de coordinar i liderar els projectes d’innovació educativa dins del Pla Estratègic de la UPF, així com contribuir i encoratjar el PDI de les seves respectives facultats al seu desenvolupament professional en l’àmbit de la docència i a la participació en convocatòries d’innovació docent.
