The University of Cadiz has organised an event to recognise pioneering initiatives in internationalisation and to present the Internationalisation Plan in Casas (leC). The rector of the University of Cadiz, Francisco Piniella, accompanied by the vice-rector for Internationalisation, Rafael Jiménez Castañeda, presided over the event in the Assembly Hall of the Faculty of Medicine, where a diploma was awarded to a dozen students and faculty of the UCA.

Francisco Piniella congratulated “the people from our university community who have taken the step of going out, of finding out what they do in other universities. They travel with the best of us and return with the best of their destination. Internationalisation is always an experience that feeds us back and improves us, that puts us in front of the mirror in comparison and that provides us with knowledge to know what we do well and what we can change”. The rector of the UCA stressed that “the University of Cadiz is the most international institution in the province. I don’t say so myself, the figures bear witness to it. At the end of the academic year 2022/23, which is now approaching its final stretch, the UCA will have around 2,500 incoming and outgoing students”. Specifically, more than 1,300 students, teaching staff, researchers and administrative staff from universities in nearly 60 countries on five continents have chosen the UCA for their academic, teaching, scientific and professional stays, to which must be added “more than 1,000 people from the UCA community who have made their mobilities in this period of time”.
