Among the participants were professors representing Unilab’s Postgraduate courses: Vera Regina da Silva (PPGA UFC/Unilab); Aluísio da Fonseca (MASTS), Daniela Tavares (PROFMAT) and Arilson Gomes (MIH), mediated by the Research Coordinator and Pro-Rector (acting), Joserlene Pinheiro (Leno) and the Postgraduate Coordinator, Anne Fayma.
About professors from other universities: Jose Aires de Castro Filho – full professor at the Federal University of Ceará, working on the Bachelor’s Degree in Systems and Digital Media and the Postgraduate Program in Educational Technology (Professional Master’s Degree) at the Virtual University Institute and the Postgraduate Program in Brazilian Education (Master’s Degree) and Doctorate) from the Faculty of Education in the Digital Technologies in Education axis and Marcília Chagas Barreto – associate professor M at the State University of Ceará, linked to the pedagogy course and the Postgraduate Program in Education. She leads the Mathematics Research and Teaching Group (MAES).
According to professor at the Institute of Humanities (IH) and Research Coordinator (Proppg), Leno Pinheiro, the meeting highlights internationalization in postgraduate studies as a strategic process that aims at the global integration of teaching, research and extension. In this sense, the action is one of Unilab’s strategic objectives, strengthening subsidies that can contribute to strengthening the institution in the internal and external educational scenario, improving its representation through innovation and cooperative relevance.
In the scope of postgraduate studies, in line with the institutional development plan, Prof. Anne Fayma (CPG/Unilab) highlighted the reflections that are working to effectively support internationalization, such as:
Broadening the Global Perspective; International Collaborations and Partnerships; Academic Mobility; Multilingualism; Quality and International Recognition; Cultural Diversity and Inclusion; Research with Global Impact; Research and Innovation Networks; International Fundraising and Global Engagement and Social Responsibility.
For Proppg representatives, it is significant to favor and mediate the relationship between researchers involved in various research initiatives, such as those carried out in conjunction with other institutions, and in this sense, to establish dialogue with the Dean of Institutional and International Relations ( Prointer) so that international agreements can be signed, aiming at the development of research. “The Northeast Mathematics Education Network (REM-NO) is one of these initiatives, which aims not only to favor research with other institutions, but also the institutional relationship between partners and the Unilab project. The presence of researcher Tia Madkins presents itself as an internationalization action”.
