Study Abroad UMH

30 October 2025

During the week of October 22-26, 2025, in Quorum I Hall on the Elche Campus, the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) hosted the first edition of the study abroad, ‘Internationalization, Management of Scientific Parks, and Artificial Intelligence.’ This comprehensive program included in-person training on artificial intelligence, capital wealth, and the Sustainable Development Goals, among other topics.

This training activity, coordinated by UMH Professor, Fernando Borrás, addressed some of this university’s major endeavors, such as internationalization, the UMH Scientific Park, and artificial intelligence, during sessions on international projection tools, technology push methodologies, and the impact of AI on distinct university areas, among many other aspects.

Moreover, over five days of activities, the program also included gastronomic opportunities, such as a tasting of typical food products from Elche in its historic center, and a guided tour of the most emblematic locations around the city of Elche.

Students taking part in this study abroad program hailed from Latin America, and they represented the University of Cauca (Colombia), National University of Tumbes (Peru), and the Technical University of Ambato (Ecuador). The in-person sessions from last week were a continuation of online sessions between February and June of this same year on university governance.
