The internationalisation process in which universities are immersed is a response to the increasingly globalised socio-economic, cultural and intellectual context. The mission of universities has not changed: they have always had an international focus. It is the context that has changed: the world seems to have become smaller and distances shorter. New technologies have compressed time and space. Knowledge in all fields now rapidly crosses borders to become available worldwide. It is in this context that the University of Vic is creating the conditions to realise its full potential.
The second IWHE, helded in November 2012, had for a week converted UVic into a forum of discussion on international opportunities and challenges for Catalan universities and for the University of Vic itself and for other business, education and health organisations.
The UVic International Workshop on Higher Education was sponsored by “La Caixa” Foundation Welfare Projects.
