The webinar, organized by ASCUN-RCI and CCYK, brought together higher education institutions to discuss the academic mobility opportunities offered by UMAP, an association founded in 1993 that promotes the mobility of students and university staff throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

During the session, University of Colima, Universidad EIA, and Universidad San Buenaventura Cali shared their programs, strategies, and application processes. Representatives from EAFIT University also presented various international cooperation programs and opportunities, including the academic visit from Vancouver Community College.

Later, Sandra Valencia from University of Manizales presented her exchange experience in Japan and her participation in the Expo, while Javier Laín from Universidad Autónoma de Occidente shared his testimony about the three-week MEIJO Japan Study Tour program.

As a closing message, participants highlighted the importance of constantly reviewing calls for applications and communications, meeting established deadlines, understanding Asia-Pacific culture, fostering collaborative work, and viewing every international experience as a gateway to future cooperation opportunities.

From CCYK, we will continue promoting strategic internationalization through interinstitutional collaboration and the strengthening of long-term partnerships with the Asia-Pacific region.
