One of UArtes’ strategic objectives is to strengthen partnerships with international institutions and organizations in order to advance sociocultural transformation in different territories. To this end, the University has entered into cooperation agreements with institutions abroad, enabling the university community to participate in academic mobility programs; academic, scientific, cultural, and artistic projects and activities; and access bibliographic resources, among other benefits.
