The Service of International Relations at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) traveled to Geneva (Switzerland) to participate in the Annual Conference and Exhibition of the EAIE (European Association for International Education), which is the largest higher education event held in Europe. This year’s edition reunited more than 5,500 professionals.

Representing the UMH included Deputy Vice Rector for International Relations – Internationalization, Ausias Garrigós; Director of the Service of International Relations, Development Cooperation and Volunteerism, Inma Blaya; and Úrsula Kress, a technician from the same UMH service.    

During the conference, held September 11-14, the UMH representatives met with 24 European, Asian, and American universities in order to expand the number of agreements the UMH maintains for student and faculty exchanges through the ERASMUS and Destino programs. Furthermore, these meetings permitted starting new projects with universities with which agreements already exist, in addition to publicizing the academic opportunities of UMH degree programs, its study abroad programs, and the internships programs offered by the UMH.

UMH participation at international events like these demonstrates the commitment this institution has made to internationalize and promote itself well beyond Spanish borders.
