Descrição
Resumo:The interest in understanding how universities are moving in the implementation of the internationalization process, led ti research that sought to understand the conceptions and actions present in the movements of two universities in the extreme south of the country. We try to show the approximations and distances between them from the discourses on the implementation of this process. Through the analysis of data from six interviews with managers, we see that the conception of internationalization passes through the perspective of national and international agreements, including the participation of students in student mobility programs with expressive interest of the managers in relation to the meaning of this broader process Internationalization in the context of higher education. The establishment of cooperation in the “southern” context and regional development as a result of internationalization was emphasized. We conclude that the understanding of this complex theme is fragile in the context of the researched universities and that there is strong evidence of the need to potentiate more actions towards internationalization.
