ABSTRACT

This paper describes the process of capturing challenges and the co-creation of knowledge at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) through Challenge-Based Learning (CBL). In collaboration with the quadruple helix—citizens, public administration, universities and companies—real problems in the territory are identified and innovative and sustainable solutions are developed. The objectives of the research are: to examine the process of detecting challenges and their definition adapted to university teaching; to analyse the potential of CBL as a methodology for the co-creation of knowledge between the university and the territory; and to evaluate the impact of the solutions developed on local communities and students. The process includes meetings with the stakeholders involved to identify needs and the co-creation of solutions in collaboration with the students, guided by the teaching staff. The results show the feasibility of the model to solve real problems and improve student engagement.
