PROPUESTA PARA LA INTERNACIONALIZACIÓN DE LA UNIVERSIDAD ECUATORIANA EN EL ÁMBITO DE PROYECTOS DE INVESTIGACIÓN

ENSAYO DESCRIPTIVO

Abstract

Globalization and knowledge have no frontiers. The objective of this article is to develop a proposal for the internationalization of Ecuadorian universities research projects. The aim of this proposal is to achieve universities with international exposure and immersed on research processes. These will nurture them with experiences and knowledge in the benefit of society. Such benefit is crystalized through education and research, which is feasible with agreements, subscriptions, international networking, and formation of researchers that could step up Ecuadorian universities into international rankings in regards to scientific production and research. These rankings improve prestige and positioning. The internationalization of Ecuadorian universities’ research projects is a challenge that requires joint strategies. The universities and the State are both responsible for these strategies and should work in collaboration for a successful implementation.
