Abstract

This article describes the management experience of the Integral Internationalization Strategy of the UTPL with a focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations (UN). From this perspective, it presents the comprehensive internationalization model anchored to the Strategic Plan for Institutional Development (PEDI 2025-2025), its mission, vision, integrated management process in the substantive actions of the university (teaching, research and links with society), the relationship with the SDGs, and initiatives with international projection and collaboration.
