This year, the Universidad de La Frontera (UFRO) added a new official international partnership with Campbell University in the United States, through its Faculty of Engineering and Science, which was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by both entities. This new partnership focuses on the development of educational and research activities, including academic and student exchange in undergraduate and graduate education, as well as the provision of information services and other activities of interest for both institutions. “Campbell University started with study programs oriented towards the farmaceutical industry, but over time, they offered new programs focusing on training professionals for the technology industry. Considering this development, this partnership will allow us to acquire and strengthen skills to connect with the technological industrial world,“ commented Dr. Jorge Farías Avendaño, the dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Science of UFRO and coordinator of this cooperation. “This new alliance represents a valuable opportunity to keep strengthening our internationalization process, which is one of the pillars of our University’s Strategic Development Plan for 2024-2028,“ he added. On behalf of Campbell University, this partnership will be coordinated by Dr. Víctor M. Pulgar, Associate Professor of the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
