Abstract

Internationalization policies in general at universities concentrate actions within the scope of international cooperation, scientific and technological development, as well as the development of human resources in the academic context. In this perspective, the objective of the present study consisted in proposing an institutional innovation in the internationalization policy of the Federal University of Paraiba to make it more efficient, mapping the process and the internationalization actions existing in the Institution. Identifying the sources of funding applied to the university's internationalization activities, as well as analyzing the implementation of the UFPB's internationalization policy based on Resolution No. 06/2018 and the current Institutional Development Plan. To this end, an exploratory research was carried out, which consisted of collecting information that sought to understand the entire process of internationalization of the institution. In this sense, the methodology follows the principles of content analysis. As for the analysis of the data obtained, in addition to the theoretical framework, a search was carried out for comparative purposes in internationalization processes and policies of other Federal Universities. From the results, it was observed that the status of the internationalization of the UFPB is still in development and it needs to innovate the structure of its internal policy in specific aspects to achieve better indicators of institutional results. In addition, it was possible to perceive that there is a movement in internationalization actions, however, in an isolated and little publicized way at the university.
