Sixth University Internationalization Seminar: New Frontiers for Inter-American Cooperation. (Washington, D.C., 26 February – 2 March 2018)

Abstract

This seminar was the sixth of its kind in promoting the internationalization of Brazilian Universities. It is linked to the Scholarships Program offered by the Organization of American States (OAS); the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), which joined in 2014 to add the health sciences to scholarship offers; and the Coimbra Group of Brazilian Universities (in English, CGBU, or in Portuguese, Grupo Coimbra de Universidades Brasileiras / GCUB). Present were representatives from the OAS and PAHO, including ambassadors and emissaries, high-level officials, and faculty in the Americas. Two days of plenary sessions were followed by three days of closed sessions to develop the 2018 protocols. This report covers the first two days.
