The program is for Emerging Leaders who work in internationalization, selected by the International Bureau of Education and the Government of Canada, who selected two representatives of Brazilian Universities; one from the Federal Universities and the other one became Prof. Dr. Eliane from the state segment. In this year, ELAP COLLABORATION MISSION decided on a main topic: the use of technologies in favor of the local environment. This is why the program wants the delegation to visit several higher education institutions in Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary and Hallifax, covering three provinces offering programs of this topic, such as climate change, sustainable energy and green building among others. Together with Prof. Dr. Eliane Segati Rios Registro, representatives of Barbados, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, São Vicente e Granadinas, Surinam and Uruguay are going to participate in events of networking, educational activities and at the 51st Annual Conference of the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE), organized by CBIE, a non-profit bilingual national organization. The Coordinator of International Relations of UENP prepared a special material for discussion and presented also the university researchers’ material concerning the topic of the mission. According to Prof. Eliane, the Canadian Government highly appreciated all the work she had done so far concerning internationalization at UENP and in the State. As a result of this mission, Eliane hopes for even more partners and new contacts to other universities, looking for partners in the institutional environment who developed similar projects as our professors.
