The Internationalization of PPGO has evolved significantly in terms of international partnerships, mainly with companies. Measures of "Internationalization at home" are the responsibility of the Academic Internationalization Advisory, but the PPGO is internationalized through: page on the UNIP website in English and Spanish, reception of foreign professors, participation of foreign professors in defense panels, feasibility reception of international students with courses in English, recruitment of students from Latin America and intellectual production. PPGO's vision regarding Internationalization for the coming years includes the possibility of offering remote inter-institutional disciplines, greater attraction of visiting professors, strengthening of existing actions and support for faculty and student mobility.
