Abstract

In the current globalized scenario, open innovation applied to the public sector is becoming increasingly prominent. This model allows organizations to achieve greater breadth of ideas, which, coupled with internal practices, expand the field of solutions to problems in society. Therefore, glimpses the adoption and use of technological platforms for the management of ideas and open innovation, in order to promote greater relationship and collaboration between governments and citizens. In this context, considering the potential contributions of technological platforms and crowdstorm processes in promoting innovations and improvements in organizations, the present work tries to understand the processes of adoption, implantation and use of a technological platform of ideas management associated with crowdstorm processes, applied to a public university in Brazil. The main objective is to describe the project, here called “Open University: Innovative Solutions”, involving all the processes related to the implantation and use of the PremioIdeia® Technology Platform associated with the crowdstorm approach in a Public University in Brazil. The numbers associated with the project and the themes challenges evidence that crowdstorming brought benefits to the university, such as a greater appreciation of collaborations, the commitment of participants and also a greater interaction among students, teachers and university management. Based on this, it is suggested that projects of this nature can be carried out in other public universities in order to meet a specific demand for academic and administrative improvements and, in this way, promote the growth and evolution of the country’s public universities.
