Abstract

The internationalization of higher education has become a criterion of quality in the evaluation of higher education institutions, and it has been linked to mobility, focusing on the exchange of students and academics, as well as on bilateral agreements seeking to promote joint-doctoral programmes and research networks. In 2018, a Brazilian university, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) was the recipient of resources to implement actions focusing on improving its internationalisation levels from a specific funding line called CAPES-PrInt, which was implemented by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education, Brazilian Ministry of Education and Culture. It is within this context that a comparative research collaboration has develop between PUCRS, Brazil and Newcastle University, United Kingdom. In this article we report on a process and methodology to review and revise current policies, practices and perspectives at PUCRS for Internationalisation at Home, developed during a research partnership with Newcastle University.
