CALAI

THI’s Academic Centre for Latin America

The THI’s Centre for Latin American Studies

As part of its internationalisation strategy, THI places particular emphasis on the Latin American region. The Latin America Centre (CALAI), which forms part of the International Office, coordinates all activities in and with the region.

Originally launched as the AWARE project to establish research collaborations with Brazilian partners, particularly in the automotive sector, THI’s Latin American Centre has continued to develop steadily and is now a broadly-based centre of excellence for cooperation withthe region.

CALAI sees itself as a bridge between the Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences and Latin America. It provides an academic platform for cooperation and the sustainable exchange of knowledge and ideas.

With regional expertise, language skills and a personal passion for Latin America, we support the strategic internationalisation of THI and open doors for students, researchers and lecturers.

We work closely with our partners in a spirit of trust and promote intercultural understanding through jointly initiated exchange programmes and collaborative projects.  

We are convinced of the added value of cooperation with Latin America: that is why we are strengthening mobility to and from the region and continuously expanding our long-term partnerships.
