The President of Universidad Católica de Trujillo Benedicto XVI (UCT), Juan José Lydon McHugh OSA, and the institution’s Vice Director of Graduate Studies, Sister Adelia Dannus, visited PUCRS early in September to strengthen the ties and discuss alternatives to promote the cooperation between Brazil and Peru in research. The Peruvian institution has been partners with PUCRS since 2017 and its representatives discussed possible collaboration opportunities in areas of mutual interest as well as academic mobility of students.
They were welcomed at the Office for International Cooperation by the Dean Dr Heloísa Delgado, by the Administrative Coordinator Sandra Mino and the coordinator of the Graduate Program in Psychology, Dr Tatiana Irigaray. They also met with research coordinators of the School of Humanities, Business School, School of Technology and School of Health Sciences, to spot research projects and internships that are offered to international students at PUCRS.
At the Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies (Propesq), the visitors met with the Dean of Research Dr Fernanda Morrone. They also went on a tour around the Science and Technology Park of PUCRS (Tecnopuc), as they had the chance to learn more about this environment of innovation and research and how it brings businesses and the University closer together.
