Some countries have had positive experiences with the integration of internationalization to university processes as a quality regulator and promoter of opportunities to transform people, institutions and society. In Ecuador, the Technical University of Manabí uses it to improve its performance. The objective pursued by this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the internationalization strategy in the progress of postgraduate training and scientific production in this University and to know its alignment to the territorial and country needs. Applying the deductive method, observation, bibliographic analysis and statistical data allowed establishing a relationship between the processes studied, their current status and the evolution that occurred. It was found that a high percentage of publications in regional databases is done by doctoral students and teachers, and that there is a relationship between their research topics and problems of the territory, unlike Scopus.

The management model proposed herein is a two-way normative system for higher education in Ecuador, defining the engagement that should exist between the university and the community it serves and structuring all teaching, research, and outreach programs to produce consistent feedback between the two. The proposal looks at priorities and necessities of research together with programs and projects as ways of structuring organized mutual commitment. The priority lines of action consist of subject hubs around which programs and projects are planned and implemented in alignment with the period of study and level of skills of the students plus the degree of participation required on the part of the community. Commitment programs are conceived of as overall areas of intervention planned in accordance with the main areas of expertise of the university, research strengths, state policies, and national development goals. These mutual commitment projects are presented at an operational level and designed for active participation of all the social actors involved, including teaching staff. Finally, there is a proposed methodology for monitoring and evaluating the impacts provided by the projects as calculated by public value generated at all stages of the roll-out of the mutual commitment activities.
