One of the objectives of the University of the Arts of Ecuador (UArtes) is to be open to the world, prioritizing the development of relationships and exchanges with the outside world to connect the local community with the global.
The communication possibilities provided by new technologies facilitate the internationalization of the University of the Arts. This process involves different aspects such as the participation of faculty trained abroad, the visit of foreign professors and artists as special guests, as well as the involvement of the UArtes community of faculty and students abroad. On the other hand, teaching foreign languages to students serves as a tool for them to understand other cultures, open up to new horizons, and thus foster their mobility.
Art universities must be international to stimulate their research initiatives, promote the exchange of academic experiences for training, and facilitate the integration of their students into the global artistic and academic circuit. It is undeniable that by working together with other artists, researchers, and institutions, the production of knowledge at UArtes, in art, about art, and for the arts will be enriched.
According to pedagogical and research needs, academic units are responsible for the internationalization of UArtes. Members of the university community are, in fact, already involved in various international projects.
