PLAN DE INTERNACIONALIZACION DE UNIVERSIDADES REGIONALES CHILENAS.

Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María (UTFSM) borns by the philantropic vision of Federico Santa María. It is in Valparaíso, but it also has presence in Santiago and Concepción. The internationalization of Chilean universities is high in the case of research, however, the physical presence of Chilean universities in another country it is almost nil. This article proposes the internationalization of UTFSM in Cuyo region (Mendoza Province, San Juan Province and San Luis Province), based on the historical relation between Chile and Argentina, even before the independent process. It is concluded that there are different ways to achieve this internationalization such as the opening of campus or academic exchange. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
