On 25 July, the Director of International Relations, Fernanda Leal, and the International Agreements Coordinator, Amanda Drehmer, received a visit from Holly Cowman, Director of International Engagement at the Mary Immaculate College (MIC), Ireland. The purpose of the visit was to discuss possibilities for cooperation between UFSC and MIC, especially in the areas of education/teaching and linguistics, including activities to be developed jointly with the Institutional Center for Languages and Translation (NILT/SINTER) and participation in Erasmus projects. The next step to begin the cooperation will be the execution of an international agreement between the institutions, which will enable the implementation of joint actions.
