UFSM provides the following initiatives to host foreign administrative staff:
AUGM
The Association of Universities of the Montevideo Group (AUGM), established in 1991, is comprised of member institutions from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, UFSM being one of the founding institutions.
The program provides opportunities for international academic mobility at various levels and in different areas among the participating institutions, establishing strategic alliances and offering cultural enrichment for the participants. The program’s objectives include spreading and improving knowledge, enriching participants’ professional and personal development, and contributing to institutional development through international experiences. For more information on AUGM, please visit http://grupomontevideo.org/site/.
The application process takes place annually at the home institution. Interested staff should contact the equivalent Unit at UFSM that will advise the mobility program beforehand. The home institution provides financial assistance for transportation, whereas UFSM offers housing and food.

Staff from a Partner Institution
Foreign staff from partner institutions are also welcome to work at UFSM. For this, the agreement must include administrative activities in the work plan. The procedures for coming to UFSM through this type of initiative must be arranged directly with the hosting Unit at UFSM.
