El desafío de la interculturalidad para la cooperación universitaria / The intercultural challenge

Abstract

This work analyses the scope and potentialities of the agreement with the academic cooperation between Universidad Politecnica Salesiana (UPS) and Viena University, in light of the common challenges of inter-culturality, a common issue pending to be addressed by Europe—in face of the differences within each nation and the migrant population—as well as by Latin American—crossed by the linguistic and cultural diversity of its nationalities. The article concludes by ratifying that inter-culturality is a pending challenge for higher-level education in general, that can inspire strategic alliances across universities. The potential of this task does not just take into account the possible beneficiaries, but also includes the transformation of the frameworks for higherlevel education.
