From today, Benicasim will host the course "Internationalisation of the University", which marks the start of the fifth edition of the UJI's Summer University (Universitat d'Estiu). The President of the Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities (CRUE) and Rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, the Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morant, and the Mayoress of Benicasim, Susana Marqués, inaugurated the programme of the course, which is being held at the Hotel Termas Marinas El Palasiet and will continue until tomorrow, Friday 7 June. The event, organised by CRUE and the UJI, aims to analyse the role of universities in the development of the internationalisation process in an increasingly globalised and digitalised context.

In her speech, Eva Alcón stressed that "the internationalisation of universities, both at the academic and scientific level, has shown an enormous capacity to contribute to social development in an increasingly globalised world", and therefore pointed out the importance of studying and analysing strategies that "allow the internationalisation of universities to be strengthened in order to lead sustainable development with rigour, critical thinking and social commitment".

Alcón also stressed the importance of analysing the challenges and opportunities in a triple scenario, Europe, Latin America and Africa, because this new approach enables "the internationalisation strategies of universities and their local and global impact to be integrated and debated on a tricontinental basis". In this sense, she stressed that "all efforts to strengthen higher education and research contribute to generating greater value for society, and internationalisation is the way to do this globally".

The President of CRUE and Rector of Universitat Jaume I also pointed out that the Spanish higher education system can act as a link between the European Higher Education Area and the Ibero-American Knowledge Area, and to advance towards the Euro-Mediterranean Higher Education and Research Area.

For her part, Minister Morant, who congratulated the President of CRUE on her first year at the head of the Conference of Rectors, praised the efforts of the students who are currently taking the university entrance exams throughout the country, and said that the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities is approaching the internationalisation of Spanish universities "as a common challenge to face the future by promoting the attraction and mobility of talent with other countries".

Until tomorrow, Friday, Spanish university rectors and representatives of Ibero-American university associations will take part in conferences and round tables, together with experts in internationalisation strategies. During the morning session on Thursday, participants reflected on "The Ibero-American area in the context of higher education", and the Ibero-American Secretary General, Andrés Allamand, gave a presentation on the reality of universities in Latin America. The afternoon session will focus on "European university alliances and their contribution to the internationalisation of universities" and "Challenges and opportunities for the internationalisation of the Spanish university system".
