Red Regional para el Fomento de la Internacionalizacion de la Educacion Superior en America Latina (Regional Network fo the Internationalisation of Higher Education in Latin America)
A collaboration between nineteen partners in Europe and Latin America, the Erasmus+ RIESAL project on capacity building in the field of higher education is directed towards the development of the internationalisation of partner higher education institutions in Latin America. The project is coordinated by the Universidad de Guadalajara.
The objective is being pursued through various activities:
- the development and implementation of e-learning regarding strategies and processes of internationalisation;
- the study of internationalisation models in use and an analysis of the current situation in the partner universities;
- the development of an intensive internationalisation training seminar;
- the creation of a regional observatory on internationalisation of higher education in Latin America;
- the creation of a database of potential partners for cooperation projects;
- the publication of a journal on the theme of internationalisation;
- connecting with partner universities at European Union institutions in order to make agreements for cooperation.
