Today, November 25th, the IMPALA workshop began with the presentation of value chains and indicators for each type of Third Mission typology, which related to the four established dimensions: social, economic, knowledge and environmental.   

Erasmus+ is a program from the European Union which is focused on education, training, youth and sports for the period of 2014-2020. Among its core values is Key Action No. 2: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange for good practices.  

The annual EAIE conference (European Association for International Education) took place in Helsinki, Finland from the 24th to the 27th of September, 2019, gathering more than 6000 professionals from 95 countries around the world. The conference was the stage for sharing the strategic points of IMPALA (Strengthening Impact for Latin American Universities) in a presentation titled “Getting inspiration from South-South cooperation to reshape education partnerships.” This inspiring project encourages developmental cooperation for three reasons: first, it focuses on the third mission statement, a priority for Latin American countries; second, the structure of the project is very clear; and third, its methodology is based on the experiential application of the steps proposed in the structure and evaluation of the results.

In La Habana, Cuba, a new workshop version of the IMPALA project is taking place: “Development of the impact and adaptation evaluation system in national context”. A coordination meeting will also be held. 

The Workshop 1.2 “Impact Evaluation and its Integration to the Quality Control System in an IES” was held successfully on May 7 and 9 at the ESADE Business School, Ramon Llull University in Barcelona.
