The Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) is participating in the 34th Annual Conference and Exhibition of the European Association for International Education (EAIE), which began this Tuesday (17 September) in Toulouse, France, and will continue until 20 September. The event, which brings together more than 7,000 international higher education professionals, is one of the largest of its kind and is attended by universities and institutions from several countries, including Brazil. UFSC is represented by the Secretary for International Relations Dr. Luiz Carlos Pinheiro Machado Filho.
The 34th EAIE Conference and Exhibition features 240 sessions and activities, including workshops, panels and meetings. The exhibition has the participation of approximately 200 universities from around the world. This year’s theme, “En Route!” (“On the way”), highlights the hard work that propels the university community towards a brighter future. The conference also celebrates EAIE’s 35th anniversary, with integration activities such as games and informal gatherings in the “EAIE Village”. For new participants, events such as the session “Back to Basics: Internationalization for newcomers to the sector” offer support and guidance on international higher education practices.
The opening day was marked by reunions and new connections, as participants, exhibitors and partners prepared for a week of discussions on the direction of international higher education. UFSC joins this event to share experiences, explore opportunities for international collaboration and reinforce its commitment to internationalization, helping build a more collaborative and innovative future in global higher education.
