Así ha sido la Alianza Fulbright Colombia e ICETEX
Los aportes del ICETEX han sido esenciales para reactivar programas de movilidad, fortaleciendo la capacidad de las instituciones para afrontar desafíos sociales, económicos y medioambientales. Estas contribuciones evidencian un compromiso con la educación, investigación y desarrollo, fortaleciendo alianzas estratégicas y procesos de internacionalización de la Educación Superior.
Gracias al apoyo de ICETEX, del Ministerio de Educación Nacional, y de cada una de las Instituciones de Educación anfitrionas, se ha avanzado significativamente hacia el objetivo principal de la beca el cual es fortalecer la enseñanza del inglés en las instituciones educativas colombianas a través de la presencia de personas hablantes nativas de inglés estadounidenses en los campus respectivos. Lo anterior ha facilitado una auténtica interacción cultural y creando redes para el intercambio académico y educativo entre ambos países.
