Alcances y desafíos de la cooperación académica internacional. El caso del Proyecto VISIR+

Abstract

This article presents the results of a research on the achievements and challenges of international academic cooperation to contribute to professional training in higher education. To achieve this goal, it describes relevant aspects inherent to the modality through a case study focused in a multilateral Project; specifically, the VISIR + Project that involves engineering careers from six Latin American and European countries. Methodologically, it is based on participant observation in different instances of its implementation (in person meetings and virtual interchanges). The results allow to systematize its achievements and challenges, in order to promote international academic cooperation as a fundamental strategy for the improvement of higher education.
