    La contribución de la movilidad académica a la construcción de un espacio iberoamericano de educación superior
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2012) Tiana Ferrer, Alejandro; Faculdade de Ciências Sociais, Educação e Administração
    Higher education has undergone important changes in Ibero-American countries during the last three decades, affecting its quantitative dimension as well as its institutional diversity and including the expansion of the private sector at this level. Despite progress carried out in this period, some outstanding problems continue to appear. One of the decisions taken for giving a response to those challenges has been to reinforce the relationships among countries in the region, impelling initiatives of internationalization. The promotion of an Ibero-American Space of Knowledge by the Summit of Chiefs of State and Prime Ministers should be underlined from this point of view. One of its three pillars is represented by the higher education sector, whose reinforcement is expected to contribute to regional integration. One of the outstanding objectives in this field tends to establish closer links among higher education institutions. In this context, academic mobility, both of students and scholars / researchers, is aimed at doing a decisive contribution. Even if some interesting and promising initiatives have been already promoted, as for instance the Pablo Neruda Program, further steps should be taken in the coming future in that direction.
