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.

The Office of International Relations (SINTER) held a Welcome Session, on 22 August, for international students arriving at UFSC for the second semester of 2022. The session took place at the Rectorate Building Auditorium, on the Trindade Campus, in Florianópolis. The event aimed to broaden the reception to the entire international student community at UFSC.

The Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) will receive until early 2016, a total of 38 foreign students by the Programas de Estudante-Convênio de Graduação ( PEC- G) and Pós-Graduação (PEC- PG). Of the 75 members of the PEC-PG supported this year, seven will study at UFSC, which according to data from the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes), is the second university in the south of the country that receives the majority of students in the program.

The professor and deputy secretary of Internatinal Relations at UFSC, Luiz Carlos Pinheiro Machado Filho assesses that the agreement student programs reinforce the multi-ethnic character of the University. “In addition to the provided solidarity , we received young people from different countries and continents , to enrich the cultural and academic atmosphere of UFSC . It is thus a two-way cooperation”, he says.
