As a way of encouraging research and practice in the internationalization of higher education, the Office of International Relations (SINTER) has created the “Research and Practice in Internationalization” menu on its website.
The menu has two pages. The first one, “Events, Courses and Calls”, is aimed at sharing information about meetings, events and courses on internationalization for international relations managers and staff, as well as for researchers interested in the topic. The second one, “Virtual Library”, lists publications on different dimensions of internationalization, such as: internationalization at home, curriculum internationalization, internationalization in Brazil and at UFSC, international university rankings, co-supervision, double degree, among others.
If you have an event, course, call or bibliography on the internationalization of higher education to add to the list, please send an email to direcao.sinter@contato.ufsc.br.

The Asociación de Universidades Grupo Montevideo [Association of Montevideo Group Universities] (AUGM) strongly repudiates the attack on democracy and expresses its solidarity with the Brazilian people and the recently elected legitimate authorities, led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The violent occupation of the headquarters of the Three Powers of the Republic in Brasilia is a serious attack on democratic institutions with very serious consequences, which tries to revert the progress achieved by democracy and the sovereignty of the countries in the region.

The Office of International Relations (SINTER) congratulates the UFSC projects approved in the CAPES/BRAFITEC Program, through the Call for Applications no. 33/2022:
- REDE 3+5: EM DIREÇÃO A SISTEMAS DE ENERGIA SUSTENTÁVEIS [3+5 NETWORK: TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS (Prof. Daniel Ferreira Coutinho)
- REDE FRANCO-BRASILEIRA DE ENGENHEIRO(A)S CIVIS [FRENCH-BRAZILIAN NETWORK OF CIVIL ENGINEERS] (Prof. Fernanda Fernandes Marchiori)
- ENGENHARIA DA ÁGUA PARA A TRANSIÇÃO ECOLÓGICA [WATER ENGINEERING FOR THE ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION] (Prof. Mauricio Luiz Senz)
The Program consists of joint research projects developed through university partnerships in all Engineering specialties, exclusively at the undergraduate level, to foster exchange between Brazil and France and encourage convergence between program curricula, including for grade equivalence and mutual credit transfer.
Professor Sandra Quarezemin, from the Department of Vernacular (Portuguese) Language and Literature and a member of the Graduate Program in Linguistics at UFSC, was selected for a Fulbright “All Disciplines Scholar Award – Cycle 2022-2023″ and obtained a Visiting Scholar grant to develop a research project in the Department of Linguistics at Stony Brook University, United States. The research, carried out from September to December 2022 (fall semester) and developed in collaboration with Professor Francisco Ordóñez, was centered on the teaching of grammar through the scientific method, the creation of a software for teaching syntax in undergraduate courses (developed by Professor Richard Larson, from Stony Brook University), and on a comparative study of Brazilian Portuguese, within the area of grammatical theory and analysis.
The “All Disciplines Scholar Award – Cycle 2022-2023” granted 20 teaching and/or research awards to professors and researchers, who have achieved their doctoral degree at least seven years ago, in all disciplines. Of the seven Fulbrighters who arrived at Stony Brook University in September 2022, only Professor Quarezemin represented Brazil.
