Joint action by SINTER and the Rector’s Office reduces bureaucracy in the execution of international agreements

14:34:12

With a view to achieving two of the priorities established by the current international relations managers at UFSC (2022-2026) – “Democratization of international opportunities” and “Improvement of SINTER’s work processes” – the Rector’s Office (GR) has delegated, through the Ordinance No. 1030/2023/GR, the powers to sign cooperation agreements between UFSC and international teaching and research institutions to the Secretary for International Relations. With this action, the time for executing and renewing international agreements will be reduced.

The institutionalization of international cooperation through the establishment of agreements is of interest to UFSC as it enables and democratizes international opportunities for the entire university community. As the vast majority of the signed agreements are broad in scope, their existence makes it possible, for example, for undergraduate students from all subject areas at UFSC to undertake international mobility at partner institutions through the Outgoing program.

Online meeting about virtual exchange and COIL at UFSC

On 29 March, the Office of International Relations (SINTER) promoted an online meeting about virtual exchange and Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). The goal was to start the discussion about the possibilities of carrying out such forms of internationalization in a standardized and institutionalized way at UFSC. The meeting was attended by the Director of International Relations, Fernanda Leal, the International Programs Coordinator, Guilherme da Costa, and the Virtual Exchange Coordinator, professor Kátia Madruga, as well as by faculty members from different departments who are interested in the topic. The discussion will continue and the idea is to have a training session on the subject this year.
