A Highlight for ICES International Relations

During this flagship event, the Director of International Relations at ICES, Mr. Matthieu BRECVILLE, established initial contacts with new universities and laid the groundwork for future partnerships across the Americas (Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, and the United States).

He also took advantage of the presence of current ICES partners to strengthen the already well-established relationships of trust, notably with the University of St. Thomas (United States), UQTR (Canada), Anahuac University in Cancún (Mexico), Eszterhazy Karoly Catholic University (Hungary), the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU) (Germany), and the Lebanese American University (LAU) (Lebanon).

Over the course of five days, Mr. Matthieu BRECVILLE attended various conferences on internationalization strategies and student mobility. The week concluded with a visit to the Tampa campus of the University of South Florida (USF), a nostalgic moment for the director, who had himself attended that institution as an international student.
