Internationalization can be considered not only one of PPGCI's main strategies, but also the one in which it will seek greater progress in the coming years. The decisive step is to adopt the perspective of internationalizing the environment in which student education and the intellectual production of the Program's professors take place. With this principle in mind, all actions, from the most mundane such as the preparation of a class to the most ambitious such as the organization of events and the preparation of agreements, will have the international dimension as a central reference.
It is the tradition of Latin American universities to develop research activities that justify their service to society and, for this reason, PPGCI bets on the many possibilities of joint research with various universities.
In this sense, Professor José Antonio Moreiro-González, from Carlos III University, Madrid, invited by PPGCI, presented the Program and mediated contacts between PPGCI and some universities, with which the coordination has already made contacts and has established or is establishing agreements
- Universidad de la República, Montevideo, Uruguay;
- Escuela Interamericana de Bibliotecología, Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia;
- Facultad de Letras y Ciencias Humanas, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Perú;
- Departamento de Ciencias de la Información, Facultad de Comunicación, Universidad de La Habana, Cuba;
- Escuela de Bibliotecología y Ciencias de la Información, Universidad de Costa Rica, San José, Costa Rica;
- Universidad de Murcia, Reino de España.
Considerando o interesse recíproco em promover a cooperação científica, tecnológica e cultural, nas áreas de suas especializações, já foram firmados Protocolos de Intenções com a Universidade da República de Montevideo, com a Universidade de Murcia da Espanha e com a Universidade de Habana, Cuba.
Professor Renato Fernandes Correa from PPGCI/UFPE and Professor Isidoro Gil Leiva, from the University of Murcia/Spain, are developing research called "Automatic Indexing Based on the Extraction of Nominal Syntagmas from Scientific Publications in the Area of Information Science". Currently, the research actions are in the phase of a new work, where they experiment the MAUI software, incorporate the KEA software and use the last implemented version of the SISA program.
Professor Fabio Assis Pinho and master's degree candidate Francisco Arrais Nascimento, both from PPGCI/UFPE, have formed a partnership for the development of a project on domain analysis, together with other professors from Spain and the United States of America (USA). The research is developed through the Domain Analysis Clinics (DACs) Project, sponsored by the Institute for Knowledge Organization and Structure, Inc., of Lake Oswego, Oregon, USA. This is a group of researchers invited to work together to identify and fill specific gaps in knowledge organization. This partnership will examine meta-analytically the nomenclatures of the LGBTQIA+ domain, particularly male homosexuality. Initially, the group of researchers will form a bibliography that will be the basis of the meta-analysis. Subsequently, each team member will analyze a specific segment of the corpus. In this sense, the participation of the Knowledge Organization and Representation research group (PPGCI-UFPE) will be effective, since it has already been developing, for more than 10 years, analyses of the domain and terminology studied at the Institute for Knowledge Organization and Structure.
Professor Nadi Helena Presser of PPGCI/UFPE and Professor Ana Reyes Pacios Lozano of the Carlos III University of Madrid are developing research under the title: "Disinformation and Misinformation: Challenges for Information Management". The main interest of the research is to diagnose the critical capacity of undergraduate students of higher education in the two countries to recognize disinformation in social media.
Due to the beginning of the pandemic, the professor returned to his country of origin. The research activities continued and, as soon as remote classes started at PPGCI/UFPE, Professor Isidoro Gil-Leiva continued to teach one of the subjects of the Program, together with Professor Renato Fernandes Correa of PPGCI/UFPE.
For the year 2022 a visit of five foreign professors is planned, aiming at the development of collaborative research projects and partnerships for publication and joint orientation, and also to teach courses at the PPGCI:
- Klaus North, Professor of International Business Administration at Wiesbaden Business School, Germany. He has experience in the area of Knowledge and Innovation Management, themes that will be addressed in PPGCI.
- José Antonio Félix Gerardo Moreiro-González, Full Professor at Carlos III University of Madrid. He will work on the techniques of documental content analysis and conceptual and historical aspects of documentation.
- Luciano Ponzio, Professor at the University of Salento, Lecce, Italy. He will focus on the area of Philosophy and Theories of Language and the theoretical and methodological aspects of Semiotics, as well as theories from the Bakhtinian perspective for better description and analysis of linguistic and aesthetic phenomena.
- Elías Sanz Casado, Full Professor at the Carlos III University of Madrid, Spain, who conducts a research in the areas of Bibliometric, Scientometrics and evaluation of the scientific activity. The visit aims at the elaboration of a plan that contemplates the creation of projects, the planning of bidirectional missions, the promotion of exchange between teachers and students, and technical cooperation.
- Ana Reyes Pacios Lozano, Professor at Carlos III University in Madrid, Spain, works in the areas of Information Management and library planning, marketing, quality and evaluation. The visit has the objective of developing a research project and teaching classes.
From the project developed between the Thematic Observatory of Teaching, Technology, Science and Information (OtletCI), directed by Professor Raimundo Nonato Macedo dos Santos of PPGCI/UFPE, and the Coordination of Articulation and Promotion of Strategic Partnerships (CAPPE/UFPE) of UFPE, the referred professor was invited by Uppsala Universitet (UU, Uppsala), from Sweden, to get to know the AIMday methodology, to establish a relationship between university and company. The AIMday methodology is based on a concept of partnerships (matchmaking) that bring together experts around a shared set of questions or challenges.
Between 2017 and 2020, the Latin American and European Cooperation for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Erasmus+ LISTO) project sponsored and brought together seven university institutions from South America, three from Brazil (UFPE, USP and UFRS), two from Uruguay and two from Argentina, as well as Spain, the Netherlands and Sweden. Gathered for a week at Uppsala Universitet (UU), Sweden, professors were trained to implement the methodology in the universities and strengthen the collaboration between universities and social and economic environments. Subsequently, all the invited universities applied the methodology in their respective contexts. Professor Raimundo Nonato Macedo dos Santos was one of those invited to learn about the experience of this international project that uses this method and to collaborate in its application at UFPE.
From this participation, a book was published, in which the chapter in question below, was developed to provide the theoretical basis to support the work and, as such, produced a literature review dealing with University/Company cooperation in the context of Latin America and Europe and understood within the framework of the methodology developed by Uppsala University Innovation (UUI). In addition, chapter 3 - "Case Studies: applying AIMday in Latin America" - describes the experience of seven Latin American universities in conducting an AIMday that took place at universities in three countries. The book is published in three languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
