The conference was hosted by: Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) and Universidade de São Paulo (USP) – participants in the Alfa Puentes project.
The project is intended to tighten cooperation between university associations from the EU and Latin America, and help European partners modernise and coordinate higher education systems in Central and South America. Joint educational initiatives undertaken by Latin American and European university associations aim to ensure quality education, facilitate recognition of diplomas and qualifications, create a system of professional qualifications and boost academic mobility.
