Academic Liaison and Global Collaboration Missions
The Vice Rector's Office for International Affairs (VRAI), in collaboration with Banco Santander, extends this invitation to participate in the mobility contest for academics of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
The objective of this mobility program is to strengthen international cooperation between the UC and various institutions around the world. To this end, a competition is being held, divided into two main categories:
1. Academic Collaboration: This category focuses on visits to Higher Education institutions with the purpose of consolidating proposals related to Teaching, Research, or Creative Work. It is expected to strengthen, in particular but not exclusively:
- Teaching: Development and exchange of teaching practices, innovation in teaching, among others.
- Research: Establishing or deepening collaborations in research projects.
- Creation: Artistic or cultural creation, exchange of artistic knowledge, creative industries, among others.
This aims to strengthen academic relationships in pursuit of the international projection of the University's educational project through direct collaboration with other Higher Education Institutions.
2. International Technical Cooperation: This category aims to foster the establishment of links between the UC and various international institutions, which may include government agencies, research centers, civil society organizations, and cooperation agencies from developing countries, which may include:
- NGOs: Non-governmental organizations that work in various social and humanitarian areas.
- National/local governments: Collaborations with government entities for projects of common interest.
- Companies: Partnerships with the private sector to promote development initiatives in innovation or technology transfer, among others.
- Cultural or religious associations: Joint work with groups that promote community culture and values, cultural heritage and the arts.
- Local communities: Direct involvement with beneficiary populations in pursuit of contributing collaborative projects to local development.
International technical cooperation will be understood as the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and technologies between the UC and external organizations, with the objective of supporting the socioeconomic development of the partners through projects and strategic partnerships. This cooperation seeks to update knowledge and learn new techniques and methods, for the benefit of the communities involved. This aligns with the Service and Community Engagement areas of the UC's academic activities.
While proposals may in some cases relate to both categories, applicants are expected to choose only one category when submitting their application. A special, but not exclusive, emphasis is placed on strengthening ties with the institutions listed in Annex 1 of this call for proposals.
