Contents: This activity provides keys to effectively use three principles for the internationalization of your research: publication in international journals, attendance of international meetings, international mobility. This is an interactive activity with analysis of the cases of the participants. The activity focuses on three topics:

1. How to focus the introductions of your articles so that they are attractive to an international audience and exploration of suitable journals to submit your articles to.
2. Strategy for attending international conferences in a productive way, which increases your network of contacts and your visibility in the scientific community.
3. Strategy for choosing a suitable international research group to carry out a predoctoral stay and strategic planning so that the stay is productive.

Control Procedure:

To pass the activity, in addition to attendance, each attendee must develop a small internationalization plan that includes:

• The contextualization of your thesis topic in a research problem of general interest,
• The identification of international scientific journals in which you will try to publish your research,
• The identification of prestigious international conferences in which you can present your research and the development of a plan with objectives to achieve in case of attendance and,
• The identification of a prestigious international research group in which consider making a stay and elaboration of a plan with objectives to develop during that stay.
