This article describes the steps taken to implement the Innovation Policy within the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA), from the perspective of the members of its Elaboration Committee. The work consisted in analyzing laws that govern the National Science and Technology Policy as well as internal and external regulatory resolutions and instructions in order to subsidize the proposal of the regulatory draft to the University’s Higher Council for Education, Research and Extension (CONSEPE). Despite the official creation of the Technological Transfer Office (AIT) as early as 2014, Ufopa had not yet succeeded in implementing its Innovation Policy, a fact that increased the time required to process agreements and partnerships that depended on its existence and increased the legal uncertainty of decisions taken. A consistent strategy for the formation of the Policy was identified, as well as for the dissemination of knowledge and information about the Policy.
