During the first two weeks of September, Anoek van den Berg, Director General of International Relations (DGRRII), and a group of researchers from UDP (Diego Portales University) undertook an academic mission to Leiden University in the Netherlands. The delegation included Dominique Herv\u00e9, a professor in the Faculty of Law; and Aldo Madariaga, Tom\u00e1s Arizt\u00eda, and Macarena Orchard from the Faculty of Social Sciences and History.<\/p>\n
During their visit, the researchers participated in a workshop with academics from Leiden to develop new projects and strengthen ties between the two academic institutions. They explored the possibility of developing joint research agendas and discussed the challenges in their respective fields of study.<\/p>\n
According to the Director, this meeting “provides an additional boost to the academic collaboration that has existed between our two institutions for more than 15 years.” She added, “Leiden University is a top 100 university, reflecting a strategic relationship that is among the strongest and most important for UDP’s international network.”<\/p>\n
For his part, Professor Aldo Madariaga highlighted the meeting and indicated that the experience was positive both institutionally and personally. In this regard, he valued \u201cthe willingness of the other institution to work with UDP\u201d and maintained that these activities are relevant because \u201cthey allow us to strengthen ties with international colleagues, which implies access to research networks and academic exchange at different levels.\u201d<\/p>\n
In turn, Professor Dominique Herv\u00e9 noted that this \u201cwas a very good academic experience\u201d and expressed that these activities promote synergy both within and outside UDP, enhancing interdisciplinary research. \u201cThe opportunity to learn about Leiden University and the potential for collaboration between our universities, specifically on environmental issues, was very valuable,\u201d she emphasized.<\/p>\n
For Professor Macarena Orchard, this mission was also an \u201cenriching\u201d experience. She stated that \u201cthese activities are key, as they allow us to envision more ambitious research agendas on a comparative level.\u201d \u201cI believe that it’s beneficial for academics to leave our countries and examine the research problems that interest us from other perspectives,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
Representatives from Leiden University also highlighted the meeting and emphasized the importance of fostering this type of dialogue. \u201cUniversities are, in essence, a meeting place,\u201d said Professor Maria Gabriela Palacio Lude\u00f1a of that institution.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s essential to sit down with someone, exchange ideas, and experience having a shared space for planning. For humanities projects, in-person collaboration is fundamental. Especially when collaborating with colleagues from the Global South, face-to-face interaction is crucial. Otherwise, it can appear as if extractive structures are being reproduced. A call is made, a name is noted, and it’s simply stated that a collaboration took place,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
With this activity, the General Directorate of International Relations aims to strengthen ties with its collaborators abroad, promote collaboration with other academic institutions, and foster knowledge exchange among peers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
