EL Gate - European - Latin American university cooperation Gate

EL Gate - European - Latin American university cooperation Gate - is a 30-month project co-funded by the European Commission’s ALFA Programme. The ALFA Programme supports co-operation between European and Latin American higher education institutions.
EL Gate aims at strengthening the management and governance of Latin American Universities in identifying and executing co-operation activities.
In particular the project seeks to design an online course and a web-based Community of Practices in order to enhance academic managers’ competences to successfully supervise external contacts with foreign partners and participation in joint scientific and research projects.
The partnership is lead by the Italian Università Telematica “Guglielmo Marconi” and includes the following organisations: Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, Brazil; Universidade Aberta, Portugal; Universidad del Salvador, Argentina; Fundacion Uvirtual, Bolivia; and Universidad Estatal a Distancia, Costa Rica.
