The chancellor highlight that “innnovación occurs through the transfer of knowledge and universities are the most important research centers in the country”.
The University of Salamanca was the main protagonist of the last day of the second cycle of Innova Club, a forum for reflection and analysis focusing this time on the “important” role of the University to encourage innovation, a concept that is embodied “through the transfer of knowledge upon research performed at the centers, and universities are the most important research centers of the country”. These are words of the rector of the University of Salamanca, Daniel Hernández Ruipérez, responsible for opening the session with the mayor of Ávila, Miguel Ángel García Nieto, to begin a series of “interesting” papers on aspects of “how to understand innovation from the work of the university and the company, in their R&D departments», in addition to conferences to present cutting-edge projects coming out from Ávila in this context, both from the Polytechnic School and Education and Tourism.
The chancellor also argued for the establishment of “very fruitful discussion about the new production model to which we will arrive, the economy has to change, it will not be about a year or two, but fails to incorporate innovation into the production process”, Hernández Ruipérez said, for whom Ávila schools are “well-established” and “work well in both teaching and researching,” and the Polytechnic also in “technology transfer.”
It also referred to the Mayor of Ávila, Miguel Ángel García Nieto. “Innovation is closely linked to universities” that have always been “at the forefront of knowledge”, so continued the mayor, “we were interested to know where the experiences, ideas and projects of the University applied the concept of new methods for changing the production process are” because, he added, “a cycle is finished and we should put into start another with imagination”.
Speakers. With the presence of the principals of Ávila Schools, Sonsoles Sánchez Reyes (Education and Tourism), Miguel Ángel González Iglesias (Polytechnic) and Pilar González (Nursing), the event featured the participation of José Ángel Domínguez (Vice Chancellor for Teaching), Miguel Pérez (Vice Chancellor for Strategic Planning and Evaluation), José Luís Martínez Farrier (professor of Education and Tourism), Alberto Hernández (General Foundation of the University of Salamanca) and Diego González Aguilera (TIDOP Research Group of the University of Salamanca).
The objectives of this line of research are to use artificially intelligent algorithms to model and study the impact of wolves in the province of Ávila. Using spatial data, statistical Geographical Information System (GIS) approaches and Machine/Deep Learning, we hope to provide a new perspective to the study of wolf activities and attacks on local livestock. 
The advantages of artificially intelligent algorithms are multiple. These algorithms provide a new means of predicting when and where the next attack is most likely to occur. Likewise, additional research may be able to highlight which animals are more likely to be attacked. This data could be of great benefit to local agricultural communities, thus helping protect their assets and help alleviate tension that could better protect the wolf from danger of extinction.
