Internationalization
The Graduate Program in History at the Federal University of Ceará, throughout its trajectory, has been developing internationalization networks through agreements, research collaboration partnerships, training strategies involving the sending and reception of faculty members and students, and high-impact collaborative publications in partnership with foreign researchers.
Since 2013, in partnership with the Graduate Program in History at the Federal University of Pernambuco (PPGH-UFPE) and the University of Toulouse, we have hosted the CAPES/Cofecub Program, aimed at consolidating and establishing new research collaboration agreements between our graduate program and the PPGH-UFPE with French institutions and researchers.
We are also part of the Partnership Program for Education and Training (PAEC) of the Organization of American States (OAS), receiving students at the master’s level. Currently, we host students through the Graduate Student Exchange Program (PEC-PG), offering positions for full master’s and doctoral degrees, as well as sandwich doctoral programs. In the most recent four-year period (2021–2024), our students were awarded fellowships through the Doctoral Sandwich Program Abroad (PDSE), and we hosted doctoral candidates under cotutelle arrangements.
In 2023, PPGH-UFC was selected through the Internationalization Call of the Ceará State Foundation for the Support of Scientific and Technological Development (FUNCAP), an agency linked to the Secretariat of Science, Technology, and Higher Education of the Government of the State of Ceará.
Our faculty members participate in international research networks and working groups. These academic exchanges have resulted, for example, in the creation of a network of researchers associated with the International Seminar on History and Historiography (currently in its 7th edition), which began in 2013 as a collaboration between PPGH-UFC, PPGH-UFPE, and the University of Coimbra.
Part of our faculty, especially those affiliated with the Labor and Migrations Research Line, are members of the research team of the INCT – National Institute of Science and Technology (CNPq) “Social History of Property and Access Rights / Proprietas Network,” coordinated by Professor Márcia Motta, who is also part of our group of collaborators.
