About RED4SUS
The RED4SUS Program aims to contribute to the development of leadership capacity in innovation in the Brazilian public sector, thus contributing to the improvement of the intersectorial collaboration necessary to build a sustainable future.
The Expertise
Competence in innovation management and collaborative processes are important attributes that the project team has developed over time, adopting interdisciplinary and practical approaches in capacity building projects for the development of innovation in the public service.
The Commitment
Bushe (2019) argues that conventional ideas about leadership are no longer adequate to respond to today's complex organizational challenges. They demand the requalification of governmental interactions and the construction of new paths to ensure a sustainable future for societies. Thus, it is necessary to transform traditional urban contexts into innovative and sustainable urban contexts.
The Philosophy
A successful sustainable development agenda requires innovative partnerships between governments, the private sector and civil society. These inclusive partnerships need to be built on shared principles and values and a common vision that puts people and the planet at the centre.
The Experience
Experience in the development and coordination of collaboration projects with universities in Asia, South Africa and South America is an asset of the UU team, while UFRGS accumulates experience in international partnership projects and projects with the Brazilian public service.
The Team
The Red4SUS team is made up of experienced and qualified professionals in the areas of public and private administration, engineering, computing and architecture, acting as consultants, managers and professors in the areas of innovation and sustainability.
