The project DHIP – Developing HEI’s Internationalization Policies – is coordinated by Pisa University. It focuses on capacity building in institutions of higher education and is approved for execution during 2018, 2019 y 2020.
The Consortium DHIP is composed of twelve universities and two foundations with the Toscana region as associated partner. Apart from Pisa University, the European partners are the universities of Sassari, Oporto (Portugal) and Deusto (Bilbao – Basque Country). Argentina, Colombia and Paraguay are the three Latin-American countries involved in this project. They are represented by Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes and Universidad Nacional de Lanús (Argentina); Universidad del Cono Sur de las Américas, Universidad Autónoma de Asunción and Universidad Iberoamericana (Paraguay); Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, Universidad de Santander and Fundación Universitaria Empresarial (Colombia). Fundación Eurosur plays a key role in facilitating the connection between the two geographical areas as it has offices in Italy and in Argentina.
DHIP’s objective is to foster and integrate the internationalization capacities of the Latin-American partner organisations through the design and implementation of individual “Plans for the improvement of internationalization”. These plans are tools to improve the potential of global interaction of each institution and are based on the individual use of instruments and examples of good practices that have been developed worldwide in recent years.
