Themed Tables

The Seminar, which will take place on October 13 and 14 in the O'Higgins Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Santiago, will be structured around four thematic tables:

Concept of Internationalization: it seeks to understand internationalization beyond academic mobility, encompassing all dimensions, understanding the levels of internationalization "at home" and "outside" and the lines of development at each level.

Internationalization Models: where the aim is to account for different strategies and ways of promoting and advancing internationalization, highlighting the relevance of rankings, areas of higher education, shared quality frameworks and qualifications, among others;

Institutional Internationalization Practices: seeks to collect and recognize the relevance of university experiences or public policies promoting internationalization, their evaluation, their levels of success and their future projections and

Internationalization in Latin America: It aims to provide a Latin American perspective on internationalization processes, focusing on Chile's integration into the region, to identify initiatives, obstacles, opportunities, and possible scenarios.

The two-day event in the capital will begin with an opening ceremony led by Gabriel Rodríguez, Director of the Directorate of Energy, Science, Technology and Innovation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREL); the Minister of Education, Adriana Delpiano; and the Executive Vice President of the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities (CRUCH), Aldo Valle.
