Abstract
Link Me Up is a project that involves 13 higher education institutions (HEIs) and one of the result indicators of the Link Me Up project is to generate 600 ideas through co-creation cases developed in teams made up of students, teachers, and companies. These 600 ideas come from 6 batches that will be completed in June 2023. At this moment, four batches have already taken place but there are still only data from the first batch for all institutions. The objective of this work, with the available data referring to the first batch, was to try to understand if there are differences in efficiency between institutions. This analysis was performed using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model, in which a constant return to scale (CRS) technology is assumed. The results reveal that there are different levels of inefficiency, with few HEIs being considered 100% efficient.
