Abstract

Currently, a substantial change is being demanded from Higher Education, which should be oriented towards innovation with a much more practical approach. To obtain these objectives, the collaboration between society, which presents a need, and the University, which offers alternatives, is sought. This integration could be guided by "Service-Learning", which aims to link society with academic institutions, promoting the enrichment, not only of the host community, but also by training students. This paper presents a Service-Learning project linked to doctoral studies which present technological developments to people in society who are in danger of exclusion.
