Key questions to explore

• How can Brazil assert strategic autonomy while remaining globally connected?

• What does internationalisation look like when driven by regional and national interests, rather than global rankings or donor agendas?

• How are new geopolitical dynamics (e.g. BRICS+, South-South cooperation, Latin American integration) reshaping academic collaboration and mobility?

• In what ways can internationalisation contribute to a more inclusive, democratic, and pluriversal knowledge production?

• How can institutions build international strategies that reflect multipolar ethics and epistemologies, instead of replicating hierarchical systems?

Objectives

• Encourage critical and creative thinking about the future of internationalisation from a Global South perspective.

• Showcase Brazilian experiences and innovations that reflect an active, rather than reactive, approach to global academic engagement.

• Promote dialogue on new narratives, tools, and alliances that support internationalisation as a driver of national development, regional integration, and global equity.
