De ilha a nexus: ações para superar desafios e ampliar vínculos em instituições de ensino
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
As Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) públicas integram redes interorganizacionais que compõem um ecossistema educacional dinâmico, marcado pela interação constante entre atores institucionais, sociais, políticos e econômicos. Compreender os desafios enfrentados nessas relações internas e externas é essencial para promover eficiência, relevância e impacto social. Este manuscrito técnico busca identificar como fatores internos e práticas estratégicas podem minimizar as barreiras que afetam o desempenho das IES, tanto no âmbito interno quanto nas articulações externas. A análise baseou-se em dados de gestores e profissionais da Rede Federal de Educação, em documentos institucionais públicos e na literatura especializada. Como principal contribuição, o estudo propõe uma agenda de soluções, organizada por áreas críticas e classificada quanto à viabilidade (curto, médio e longo prazo), respeitando as limitações das IES públicas. As propostas incluem ações voltadas à estrutura interna (digitalização de processos, comunicação estratégica e valorização de pessoas), ao ambiente externo (parcerias, captação de recursos e gestão de riscos), além de estratégias integradas que promovem inovação, inclusão e sustentabilidade. Ao reunir evidências práticas e científicas, o manuscrito oferece um referencial útil para gestores que buscam fortalecer a atuação em rede e ampliar a capacidade de resposta das IES diante dos desafios contemporâneos.
