better grades
the first places when you the
university against nautical product not
I was lost in some subjects
many notes in three illustrations the
first five semesters of my career
they were a dialogue with uncertainty
because I did not know very well that if I had
make sense professional
then the 2011 with the engineers without
Colombia borders a group that
taught that from engineering we could
help the resolution of
social and environmental problems
from the country
there I found a purpose and I gave myself
account because he had decided to study
industrial engineer
then with this new panorama and that
new horizon reaches the last
semester my career but a
small detail to be able to graduate the
thesis two great engineers without
borders knows an association of
organic farmers that is
people who in their day to day
engaged in growing food free of
chemicals because they have a great
commitment to the power of being
human can this association had
many problems and I as a student of
industrial engineering can
easily detect sales issues
more forecast processes
activities
I was so inspired by what
I made this association that I decided
make your problems
my subject of 3 300 hours of work
after they included night owls
some tears 94 hours later
Arial letter size 11
I finished my thesis for me it was very
satisfactory to deliver the document
association because I knew that there
there were ideas that were worth
then the Chilean thesis ends
requirement
I graduated and I am an industrial engineer
but the story does not end and right in
the planning of this talk I gave myself
mind that I did not know what had happened
my thesis then I decided to call dona
patricia one of the agricultures with the
that I worked to know what was
happened with my weight and because I did not have
idea
after one to the very long dialogue
I got to the next sad
conclusion nothing with tell me did not happen
absolutely nothing
three hundred hours of my life filed
in the university library 94
pages that at that moment I wonder
If anyone ever read and
we are in a university
I want us to be at this moment
sincere and we do the following
question about whether it’s good for something or
it’s a simple one hundred degree requirement
because it is that my thesis did not work for
nothing and I’m talking to you in this
moment that maybe this is not just my
frustration and it’s also not new
when I was 10 years old in the year
2000 they were doing exactly the
same question you say incredible of
how to create micro-enterprises as a cultivar
all about recycling filed in
the libraries of the universities that
perhaps nobody ever read and that
they render no service of humanity
and this year
sixteen years later the thesis has
come to be so irrelevant that there
students who are paying because
they do their degree work
then again he asked them about
of if it’s good for something
Of course yes because it is that
they were three hundred hours but if
we multiply by the two million
students that we have at this moment
the Colombian universities that
we are talking today to 600 million
hello people dedicated to investigate and
this is my idea 600 million hours
to transform Colombia millions of
hours of people thinking about the
solutions to transform the country
because it is that I realized a
thing
the problem is not the thesis the problem
is that subject is well known
then the thesis
he became a work figure without
no purpose because it happened to me
I was the one to define what the
problems and also what were the
solutions
I never heard he never gave me the
opportunity to tell the association
if what he was doing served if
it works if it was wrong or not then not
we closed hours and hours in front of
computer filling a document hours
working in a laboratory doing
assumptions simply because we do not
We dare to ask then at the end
I told myself why the thesis has to
do this when this can be a
experience that transforms reality is
that we do not have to be alone
be designing prototype command
investigating with people who really
they have the need because they create there
was there are many people who want
investigate with you
then a year ago I came across
two people each adif line that
they had the same ideas and in the end
we decided to do it is the following
asks how can we make the
thesis in colombia have purpose and
after many experiences and many
dialogs we get to the next
response transforming the needs
of Colombia in questions of
research is to say that achieving
these needs of these
problems that are hidden in the
reality are at the end the questions of
the investigation of the students and
teachers in colombia then not all
we said as well as huber connects
citizens with travel as well as facebook
connects us with two other friends
We have many networks are not
connecting with professionals
We decided to use the concept of economics
collaborative to do this we want
create the first thesis community with
purposes in colombia is to say a
where we can connect challenges of
reality investigation with
students and teachers
we do not want students and
teachers are alone and that was more
what to separate at this time
there is already a place where you can look
purpose to your investigation
with this we started a year ago and now
we have some results 59 challenges of
Research more than 200 participants
eleven students and teachers
universities in the country and especially
this 9 thousand hours of thesis with purpose
we know we need a lot for
learn but at this moment
I just want to leave our
intention
we want that in colombia
consumes research
At this moment we have 600 million
hours available
let’s use the many thanks
[Applause]
