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.

The Director of International Relations at UFSC, Dr. Fernanda Leal, participated in the round table “Internacionalização da pós-graduação brasileira: a relevância dos acordos Sul-Sul” [Brazilian Graduate Internationalization: the relevance of South-South agreements], on 6 July, together with the ambassador Irene Vida Gala and the graduate student Eliza Feres. The table is part of the local stage of the 28^th Brazilian Congress of Graduate Students (Congresso de Nacional de Pós-Graduandos – CNPG), promoted by the Brazilian Association of Graduate Students (Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduandos – ANPG), which took place at the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF).

The participation of the Director of SINTER in the event endorses the concept of internationalization that UFSC seeks to deepen, which is: internationalization as an instrument of international solidarity and academic excellence, through multilateralism and multilingualism.
