Liaison Office
The Liaison Office of the USP International Office [Agência USP de Cooperação Acadêmica Nacional e Internacional] (AUCANI) is responsible for coordinating official institutional meetings, whether in person or online, between individuals or delegations from national and international institutions requesting a meeting and representatives of the USP International Office and/or other USP Central Administration bodies.
Its role is to facilitate meetings and visits that foster institutional connections or strengthen existing inter-institutional relationships by establishing, reinforcing, or expanding national and international collaboration agreements.
At USP’s individual Teaching and Research Units, this role is carried out by their respective International Cooperation Commissions (learn more below).
Requesting Visits and Meetings
USP’s internationalization activities are conducted both centrally by the USP International Office and in a decentralized manner by the offices established within the Teaching and Research Units. These offices are represented by the local National and International Cooperation Commissions within USP’s faculties, schools, and institutes.
Requests for visits to USP International Office (AUCANI) and other USP Central Administration Bodies, as well as official or institutional meetings with their representatives, must be submitted to USP’s Liaison Office. In contrast, requests for visits to the Teaching and Research Units should be directed to their respective local National and International Cooperation Commissions (see instructions below).
Visits to USP International Office (AUCANI) and Other USP Central Administration Bodies & Official/Institutional Meetings with their Representatives
We kindly ask all individuals and groups interested in scheduling an official or institutional visit to AUCANI and other USP Central Administration Bodies, or a meeting (in person or online) with their representatives, to complete the following form before proposing a date. The form may be completed in English, Portuguese, or Spanish:
- Visit/Meeting Request Form (EN); Formulario de Solicitud de Visita/Reunión (ES); Formulário de Solicitação de Visita/Reunião (PT)
After completing the form, please send it to intliaison@usp.br
Please note that your potential hosts’ availability may be limited due to other scheduled commitments, and some meetings may not be possible on the suggested date and time. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility when requesting a visit or meeting and encourage you to provide multiple alternative dates and times. To facilitate planning, we recommend submitting your request well in advance.
N.B.: Requests for visits and meetings from Chinese institutions, whether based in Brazil or abroad, will be handled jointly by the USP International Office and the USP-China Center.
Visits to USP’s Teaching and Research Units and Meetings with their Representatives
Individuals and groups interested in scheduling official or institutional meetings, academic, technical, artistic, or cultural visits, as well as in-person or online meetings with representatives of USP’s Teaching and Research Units, should reach out to their respective local National and International Cooperation Commissions.
