2.2) Top China Santander Universities Program and Agreement with Kazan Technical University
We are currently working on two cooperation projects with international scientific institutions: the first relates to the Technical University of Kazan, Russia, the second to the Top China Santander Universities program, in China. The scientific and academic cooperation between UFES and the Kazan Technical University was motivated by the joint desire to strengthen cooperation between the two countries, Brazil and Russia, to develop cooperation in their respective areas of knowledge and to define the general rules of this cooperation. Likewise, the cooperation between UFES and Banco Santander S / A to make the Top China Santander Universities program viable was motivated by the improvement of teaching and the opportunity to provide students and teachers with the possibility of establishing and developing relationships with renowned institutions of teaching at renowned Chinese Universities, through participation in programs that have the scope of exchanging students and teachers.
On the other hand, as the participation of different professors in international events and publications points out, we are strengthening cooperation and exchange relations at the international level.
