Internationalization is a strategic priority for the University of Minho (UMinho), embedded in its Mission and Strategic Plans as a cross-cutting pillar of institutional action. This commitment seeks not only to ensure high standards of quality in teaching, research, and engagement with society, but also to position UMinho as a leading institution within an increasingly competitive global academic landscape. UMinho has invested significantly in strengthening its international profile and broadening the scope of its global cooperation. The activities carried out under this project align with the following strategic objectives: - To increase the number of students and staff participating in international mobility opportunities; - To expand transnational partnerships and projects that promote curriculum internationalization and innovative teaching and learning methods; - To enhance students’ employability through experiences and skills gained in international contexts; - To raise awareness across the academic community about the practices and benefits of “Internationalization at Home”; - To develop new international programs in areas of scientific excellence; - To structure a sustainable internationalization policy in which diversity, quality, and impact serve as formal indicators for institutional evaluation; - To foster a culture of inclusion, democratic values, and appreciation of cultural diversity. More specifically, the implementation of this project contributed to: - Strengthening UMinho’s international visibility and reputation; - Consolidating partnerships with leading higher education institutions, enabling joint initiatives in teaching, research, and pedagogical innovation; - Supporting the creation of joint programs (double/multiple degrees) and international courses; - Enriching participants both professionally and academically; - Promoting democratic values, intercultural dialogue, respect for diversity, and the development of global citizens prepared for the challenges of a rapidly evolving world.
