The International Academic Program (IAP), in collaboration with the David Rockefeller
Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) at Harvard
University and with institutional support from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), fosters reciprocity in research and expands academic collaboration networks.
Held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, this program brings together distinguished professors from Harvard and MIT, alongside faculty and researchers from Latin America, Spain, and beyond. Together, they exchange ideas, explore new research directions, and enhance their teaching practices.
The symposia address pressing global challenges, including climate change, artificial intelligence and democracy, through interdisciplinary discussions and presentations. They examine how fields like public policy, public health, management, and education adapt to these challenges, contributing to transformational change in a rapidly evolving world.
Provide high-quality and inspiring academic experiences that foster professional and institutional growth.
Collaborate through a strong network of alliances among leading universities and organizations.
Identify and develop research and innovation projects addressing global and institutional priorities in higher education.
Promote replicability and knowledge transfer by sharing innovative practices and models across diverse contexts.
Disseminate results and best practices to strengthen impact and visibility within the international academic community.
The program includes activities that immerse participants in the intense but rewarding daily life of Harvard University. Harvard is a hub of research and innovation, and a destination for visitors from all over the world.
The speakers in the IAP are prestigious professors who have extensive teaching and research experience, and whose work has been widely published in their respective fields.
The IAP offers a variety of innovative and practical talks and workshops, facilitated by top experts. Sessions include presentations of articles, case studies, and the speakers’ own work, alongside focused group discussions where participants can share, explore, and test their own ideas and theories.
Participants will share ideas and experiences that support their teaching, research, and professional growth. The programme offers opportunities to exchange knowledge, explore key questions, and formulate theories within your field of work, with a strong emphasis on global perspectives and academic excellence.
