Representantes da UFSC participam em Brasília do 1º Fórum de Reitores Brasil-África

The Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) has been officially approved to join the FAUBAI-BRaVE – Brazilian Virtual Exchange Program, an initiative of the Brazilian Association for International Education (FAUBAI) that promotes the internationalization of higher education through virtual academic experiences.

With this membership, UFSC becomes part of a national network that fosters the development of courses and activities with an international dimension, carried out in partnership with foreign institutions – without the need for physical mobility.

The FAUBAI-BRaVE Program seeks to expand access to academic exchange by enabling students and faculty to engage in multicultural, collaborative experiences in an online environment. It also contributes to strengthening international cooperation and advancing pedagogical innovation across Brazilian universities.

By joining the program, UFSC commits to training faculty for virtual exchange initiatives, maintaining designated institutional coordinators for this area, and ensuring the regular offering of courses in this format.

UFSC is now included in the official list of participating institutions, marking another important step in advancing the university’s internationalization strategies and broadening academic opportunities for its community.
