The Project

The aim of the project is to support the internationalisation process of Cuban and Panamanian universities by:

•	Integrating the international dimension into the teaching, research, management and services of Cuban and Panamanian universities.
•	Building capacities in the six Cuban and two Panamanian institutions in order to facilitate their internationalisation.
•	Developing links between the European Union, Cuba and Panama.
•	Strengthening the capacity of networks of Cuban and Panamanian higher education institutions.
•	Providing easier access to European higher education institutions for Cuba and Panama (visibility, informational sessions at conferences, etc.).

FORINT develops the internationalisation capabilities of Cuban and Panamanian universities and provides guidance in the definition of strategies.

 

Mentoring and training are provided to improve management skills. In addition, international points of contact are established, and inclusion in networks with significant EU members fosters closer cooperation with European counterparts. The project encourages specific cooperation. Shared results and best practices encourage replication in other institutions in the region. The main activities of the FORINT project will be workshops developed by European universities that will be attended by representatives of Cuban and Panamanian universities. This project aims to achieve the following results:

•	Support internationalisation of Cuban and Panamanian universities
•	Increase the international dimension in the teaching, research, management and services of Cuban and Panamanian universities
•	Facilitate operational cooperation between the Cuban and Panamanian universities and their European counterparts
•	Provide easier access to Cuba and Panama for the European Higher Education Institutions
