The Rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, has begun an institutional trip to Colombia, visiting four universities in the country with the aim of consolidating the international projection of the UJI in Latin America. In addition, Alcón, as President of CRUE Spanish Universities, will participate in the bilateral meeting of rectors organised by the Colombian University Association (ASCUN) and CRUE.

The official visit began on Wednesday 9 October at the National University of Colombia, one of the country's largest universities in terms of student numbers. Rector Alcón met with her counterpart, Rector Leopoldo Múnera, and the External Relations team led by its Director, Mónica Reinartz, a meeting that also included the Director of the Latin America/UJI Strategic Project, Manuel Chust. The meeting was used to outline new agreements between the two universities regarding student exchanges, joint supervision of masters and doctoral programmes and the development of micro-credentials.

The Rector of the UJI has highlighted "the strategic importance of Latin America for the internationalisation of the UJI and the interest in promoting student and staff mobility and joint research. But above all, these institutional visits to leading Colombian universities in their regions and at the national level aim to explore new forms of collaboration, in particular we want to analyse the possibilities of promoting international double degrees, the joint supervision of doctoral theses and the development of micro-credentials".

This institutional visit to Colombia comes on top of the one to Mexico last March, "with which the UJI aims to strengthen its presence in Latin America and promote internationalisation, a crucial bet for the future of the university", Alcón pointed out.

Next week, the rector of the UJI and the president of CRUE Spanish Universities will inaugurate the meeting of the rectors of the Colombian Association of Universities and CRUE. This bilateral summit will address issues such as lifelong learning, artificial intelligence and ethics, cooperation between Spain and Colombia, as well as analysing the new possibilities offered by the agreement on the recognition of degrees, diplomas and certificates signed between the two countries in 2023.
