The Polytechnic School of the University of Lleida considers the process of internationalization of the center a key aspect. On the one hand, for its own establishment and strengthening as a reference center. On the other hand, for the professional future of its students. This process allows us to face the future with optimism and a global and open vision of the world. The director of the Polytechnic School, Francesc Giné, defense that "the future professionals who have arised from the Polytechnic School must be able to face their future job challenges with the maximum guarantees of success, understand and visualize in a global way the authentic and excellent job opportunities that are offered on a European and global scale". With this sentence, Giné also wants to promote the internships in companies abroad.

The deputy director of international relationships of the Polytechnic School, Cristian Solé, explains that "a double degree is currently being taught at VIA University College in Denmark and, a joint master's degree in Computer Engineering and Computer Science with the ITB Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences ITB in Bandung is expected to take effect next year (Indonesia).

The aim of this event is not only to have an impact within the scope of the University of Lleida, but also to have a more global scope within the city.

The objective is to show that the city of Lleida is attractive as a destination for international students and, furthermore, that it has enough potential at university, business and industrial level to establish relationships with other university institutions around the world. That is why, in addition to strictly academic activities, visiting professors were also able to enjoy a guided tour around the city, with special emphasis on the Seu Vella of Lleida, and also the Parc Científic of Lleida, with the objective of showing Lleida and the University of Lledia as a quality international mobility destination.
