The Mexican ambassador to Chile, Ms Laura Moreno Rodríguez, proposed at the University of Los Lagos that bilateral cooperation in public education and scientific research be strengthened. The plan includes promoting student mobility and establishing a branch of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Chile to advance technological decentralization. Ambassador Moreno said that technological development and innovation are very important for Mexico, so that they are promoting ongoing interaction with different countries and their universities, such as Ulagos, which is recognized for its public role in Higher Education.
The Spanish language leveling initiative for Haitian nationals who have migrated to Chile represents the continuity of work developed in previous years with the support of local stakeholders.
The project originated from a request for support made by the Escuela Deportiva de Ovejería2 to the Corporación Cultural Alianza Francesa3. The goal was to establish language competencies to foster better communication and interaction among teachers, students, and parents within the Haitian community, as well as among the students themselves. The successful completion of the first stage was made possible through the contribution of the company Colun4.
ULagos defines strategies and international programs according to the current institutional policies. Internationalization represents a dynamic and professional component essential to face worldwide trends and challenges, guiding efforts to obtain positive and lasting impacts, to achieve international quality standards and strengthening research, undergraduate and graduate education and social connectivity.
Permanent international cooperation is developed through programs, networks and partnerships, which has allowed ULagos to successfuly connect to the contemporary global trends on higher education, scientific and technological development. This interaction has helped our institution to respond to our country´s national demands on generating abilities for science, innovation, and Chilean culture.
