Office of International Relations

The Office of International Relations (SINTER) highlights the appointment of Professor Arno Dal Ri Jr., a faculty member at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), as Associate Professor at the Institute of International Law at Panthéon-Sorbonne University. Formalized on 2 June 2026, the appointment marks the first time a professor from UFSC’s Graduate Program in Law (PPGD) and School of Law (CCJ) has joined the permanent faculty of one of the world’s leading institutions for legal education.

Prof. Dr. Arno Dal Ri Jr.

Having served as coordinator of the PPGD from 2015 to 2019, Professor Arno Dal Ri Jr. has played a key role in advancing the internationalization of legal studies at UFSC, contributing to the establishment of international cooperation agreements and academic partnerships. His academic career includes the title of Professor Ad Honorem from the University of Lille, numerous academic distinctions in Brazil and abroad, and visiting professorships at institutions across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

This achievement further strengthens UFSC’s international presence and reflects the results of sustained efforts to promote academic cooperation, international mobility, and strategic partnerships with institutions of excellence around the world.

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.
