Abstract:
The EEES is undoubtedly a step without turning back towards internationalization. This research paper seeks to show that natural internationalization flows to Spanish Universities coming from the Latin America region. This way of internationalization is not being fully explored by the Spanish Universities. However, Spain has the advantage of being open to Europe and the Anglo-Saxon world. In the last decade, 2 million Latin American students have completed their studies and can contribute to progress on two continents. In this sense, the Spanish University should be set as a priority the possibility of exporting the EEES to the Spanish speaking countries in America, by establishing connection channels to strengthen relations between the two continents. In this poster we introduce the different options to attract students from Latin America to Spain in different levels of education at the university level. We also enunciate the ways of building the relationships between Spanish and Latin American Universities.
