Entrepreneurial institution and regional development

Abstract

Higher Education Institutions are strategic actors in the economic, social, environmental and cultural development of territories. This article aimed to identify the projects developed by the Federal Institute of Piauí Campus São João do Piauí, analyzing their relationship with the social and economic development of the Development Territory of Serra da Capivara. Data collection was carried out in the Unified Public Administration System. Projects in the research and extension modalities approved in public notices with results available in the 2019-2020 period were selected. Two search protocols were used, one for the research modality and the other for the extension modality. There was a greater concentration of projects approved by the São João do Piauí Campus in the 'Environment Dimension' (66.6%).The other projects were categorized into the 'Sociocultural' (22.2%) and 'Economic' (11.1%) dimensions. This points to a profile of human capital performance on the Campus for issues related to the Territory's sustainable, social and economic development.
