Internationalization of higher education institutes is becoming a real opportunity of development in environmental and social subjects. This paper explores a case study where university agreements and student exchanges between low-middle income and high-income countries have started a process of international cooperation about environmental themes. The agreements, signed between two Italian and two Bolivian Universities, started formally in 2015 and include the cooperation through local authorities, private companies and non-governmental organizations. This case study proved the importance of Universities for implementing international programs concerning environmental issues in low-middle income countries, opening new opportunities for sustainable development.
Il processo di internazionalizzazione delle Università rappresenta un’opportunità di sviluppo per quanto concerne le tematiche ambientali e sociali. Questo articolo esplora un caso studio in cui gli accordi tra università di paesi a alto e medio-basso livello economico e lo scambio di studenti hanno permesso di iniziare un processo di cooperazione diretto per lo studio di problematiche ambientali. Gli accordi, firmati nel 2015 tra due università italiane e due boliviane, includono la cooperazione tra imprese private, governo locale e organizzazioni-non-governative. Questo processo di cooperazione prova l’importanza delle Università per l’implementazione di programmi di sviluppo in paesi a medio-basso livello economico, aprendo nuove opportunità per uno sviluppo sostenibile.

Abstract
Internationalization of higher education institutes is becoming a real opportunity of development in environmental and social subjects. This paper explores a case study where university agreements and student exchanges between low-middle income and high-income countries have started a process of international cooperation about environmental themes. The agreements, signed between two Italian and two Bolivian Universities, started formally in 2015 and include the cooperation through local authorities, private companies and non-governmental organizations. This case study proved the importance of Universities for implementing international programs concerning environmental issues in low-middle income countries, opening new opportunities for sustainable development.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
