Internationalization

To encourage the internationalization process, which has intensified over the last few years, the Graduate Program in History at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora – PPGH/UFJF) has sought to consolidate a series of initiatives with the objective of establishing and expanding partnerships.

• Institutional website of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora
• Institutional plan for internationalization
  The Plan for Internationalization of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora is intended to increase the scale of its teaching, research, extension and innovation activities, contributing—through coordinated action from its different areas of knowledge—to ensuring that the university is able to act on society in a transformative way. Internationalization is thus understood as a means to achieve the ultimate aim, which is to contribute to overcoming the global challenges of the twenty-first century through international engagement with these fields of human knowledge.
• International Office
  The International Office establishes agreements with foreign universities and entities and manages the exchange of students and staff in the Outgoing and Incoming modalities. Through language teaching programs, it promotes the language policy, an important aspect of internationalization.
• Global July Program
  With a groundbreaking format in Brazil, the program offers courses in different languages for all focus areas, offering foreign language courses for Brazilian and foreign students during summer vacations in the northern hemisphere.
• Internationalization Forum
  The Internationalization Forum discusses the need to reach out to other sectors and faculties of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, expanding the scope of the activities carried out by the International Office.
• Hosting Researchers/Collaborators from Abroad (Recepção de Pesquisador/Colaborador do Exterior – RCPCE)
  In 2018 and 2019, three international researchers were present at PPGH as Visiting Professors: Álvaro Garrido, from the University of Coimbra, Maria Inácia Rezola, from Nova University Lisbon, and Ágnes Judit Szilágyi, from Eötvös Loránd University.
• Visiting Professor and/or Foreign Visiting Professor
  The Brazilian or foreign visiting professor should work to improve the quality of the graduate program, teaching classes, guiding students, cooperating in the development of projects to obtain funding from national and international agencies, as well as producing articles to be submitted to journals with a high impact factor. They must be able to expand internationalization activities and facilitate scientific and technological exchange as well as participate in research networks, primarily those that are international.
• International Faculty Exchange Program (Programa de Mobilidade Internacional Docente – PROMID)
  A program that seeks to promote the internationalization of UFJF’s curriculum through the “Academic English Immersion Program” at Temple University.
• Joint Supervision Agreements
  Joint supervision refers to a double degree agreement for graduate programs. This agreement allows a student to complete their thesis under the supervision of two advisors, one from each partner institution. The agreements generally result from established partnerships, in which there is a solid relationship of trust between the advisors and the institutions involved. Currently, PPGH has joint supervision agreements, enabling it to have a significant international impact.
• International Doctoral Sandwich Program Abroad (Programa Institucional de Doutorado Sanduiche no Exterior – PDSE)
  PDSE is an institutional program from CAPES with the objective of supporting the development of high-level human resources through the granting of sandwich doctoral scholarships to HEIs that have a doctoral program recognized by the federal system. With the aim of improving research, PPGH often selects students for research stays at institutions abroad.
• Reverse Doctoral Sandwich Program (Programa Doutorado Sanduiche Reverso – PDSR)
  PDSR, through the Dean’s Office of Graduate Studies and Research (Pró-Reitoria de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa – PROPP), seeks to promote the internationalization of UFJF’s stricto sensu graduate studies by offering scholarships to foreign doctoral students for temporary stays in the Graduate Program in History (Programa de Pós-Graduação em História – PPGH). Through PDSR, PROPP will also seek to establish agreements that encourage the international exchange of doctoral students.
• Announcement of rolling admissions to fill vacancies for foreign candidates (Master’s/PhD)
  The Graduate Program in History at UFJF announces the Rolling Admissions Resolution and establishes the rules for the selection process to fill vacancies for foreign candidates with permanent residence abroad for the master’s and doctoral programs.
• Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (ELAP)
  Scholarships from the Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (ELAP) offer students from higher education institutions located in Latin America and the Caribbean short-term exchange opportunities for study or research at Canadian higher education institutions at the graduate level. Students from the Graduate Program in History are eligible to apply with projects that meet ELAP requirements.
• The Tordesillas Group (Grupo Tordesilhas)
  The Tordesillas Group is an academic network of universities in Brazil, Portugal and Spain that seeks to promote collaboration between universities in the three countries within the field of science and technology. With the objective of establishing academic, cultural and socioeconomic connections among the partner universities, UFJF, as a member institution, enables the exchange of research from the PPGH.
• International Cooperation Group of Brazilian Universities (Grupo Internacional de Universidades Brasileira – GCUB)
  The International Cooperation Group of Brazilian Universities (Grupo de Cooperação Internacional de Universidades Brasileiras – GCUB) is an academic, scientific and cultural association. UFJF, as a member institution, enables exchange among programs and projects aimed at graduate students, as well as researchers and professors.
• The OAS Partnerships Program for Education and Training (Programa de Alianças para a Educacão e a Capacitação – PAEC)
  The Partnerships Program for Education and Training (Programa de Alianças para a Educação e a Capacitação, Bolsas Brasil – PAEC OEA-GCUB) is the result of cooperation between the Organization of American States (OAS), the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) and the Coimbra Group of Brazilian Universities (Grupo Coimbra de Universidades Brasileiras – GCUB), with support from the Division of Educational Issues of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil (Divisão de Temas Educacionais do Ministério das Relações Exteriores do Brasil – DCE/MRE).
• Sérgio Vieira de Mello Academic Chair (Cátedra Sérgio Vieira de Mello – CSVM)
  The Sérgio Vieira de Mello Academic Chair (Cátedra Sérgio Vieira de Mello – CSVM) is a project of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) with Brazilian universities to support refugees or people in refugee situations. The Federal University of Juiz de Fora (Federal University of Juiz de Fora – UFJF) houses the CSVM with actions in different areas, encompassing teaching, research, extension, and internationalization. In December 2021, a partnership agreement was signed between the Federal University of Juiz de Fora and UNHCR to implement CSVM/UFJF, which currently has 13 actions in different areas of knowledge, including the Graduate Program in History.
