Academic Engagement and Global Collaboration Missions
The Office of International Affairs (VRAI), in collaboration with Banco Santander, extends this invitation to participate in the mobility contest for academics of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.
The objective of this mobility program is to strengthen international cooperation between UC and various institutions worldwide. To this end, a contest with two categories is presented:
1) Academic Engagement Mission: It is focused on visiting higher education institutions to consolidate proposals for teaching, research, or creation.
2) Global Collaboration Program: It aims to promote south-south cooperation between UC and international institutions (NGOs, governments, companies, cultural or religious associations, communities, etc.), updating the level of knowledge or learning new techniques and methods in the beneficiary populations.
