International Cooperation and University Agreements: new opportunities for sustainable development.
Résumé
Internationalization of higher education institutes is becoming a real opportunity of development in environmental and social subjects. This paper explores a case study where university agreements and student exchanges between low-middle income and high-income countries have started a process of international cooperation about environmental themes. The agreements, signed between two Italian and two Bolivian Universities, started formally in 2015 and include the cooperation through local authorities, private companies and non-governmental organizations. This case study proved the importance of Universities for implementing international programs concerning environmental issues in low-middle income countries, opening new opportunities for sustainable development.
