The staff member Graziele Ventura Koerich Rodrigues visited the Universidade Del Litoral (UNL) in Santa Fe, Argentina, through the Escala Gestores y Administradores program of the Asociación de Universidades Grupo Montevideo [Association of Montevideo Group Universities] (AUGM). Ms. Rodrigues was selected in a Call for Applications in 2019. However, due to the lack of resources that year, she only carried out the mobility in 2022. Check below her report:

“The photos in this post summarize what I lived on 26, 27, 28, and 29 September at the Universidade Del Litoral (UNL) in Santa Fe, Argentina. The Escala Gestores y Administradores program of AUGM surely fulfills its function of strengthening the university management and administration, contributing to their development, and increasing the understanding of the different organizational structures. The visit provided me with a rich exchange of experiences and procedures concerning the activities carried out at UFSC and UNL. I thank UFSC and SINTER for their support and trust. I thank UCL for the reception, hospitality and kindness”.
