University of Colima (Program VIII- Summer Internship in Multidisciplinary Community Care)
Colima Mexico
| At the University of Colima, we see social responsibility as a commitment to sustainable progress both locally and globally, with a mandate to promote social and human development in harmony with ethical, moral, equity and social justice values. We have therefore formulated our internationalization policy with the aim of ensuring the conditions that enable our academic staff and students to understand, work, contribute to and coexist successfully in the society of knowledge and in multicultural environments. The skills we believe will be the direct result of an international education are the development of abilities to work in multicultural settings, willingness and competence to work in multidisciplinary groups in order to communicate and use new technology as a tool for self-learning, and the acquisition of new approaches towards understanding and solving problems. The University is a member of different organizations. These are; The National Association of Universities and Higher-Education Institutions (ANUIES), the Mexican Association for International Education (AMPEI); the Consortium for North American Higher Education Collaboration (CONAHEC); the Inter-American University Organization (OUI); the International Association of Universities (IAU); University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific (UMAP); the Union of Universities of Latin America and the Caribbean (UDUAL); the Higher Education Common Space (ECOES); the Ibero-American University Association for Graduate Studies (AUIP); Conférence des Recteurs et des Principaux des Universités du Québec (CREPUQ). We have signed 434 academic and scientific-collaboration agreements with various higher-education institutions in Argentine Republic, Austria, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Norway, Panama, People’s Republic of China, Peru, Plurinational State of Bolivia, Puerto Rico, Republic of Colombia, Republic of Costa Rica, Republic of Cuba, Republic of Ecuador, Republic of El Salvador, Republic of India, Republic of Korea, Rumania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay (36 countries). |
