The students received information on the IAI's diverse activities: the collections, research activities and events. The visiting scholar and scholarship program and the Institute's publication program were of particular interest. In an extended discussion round, to which IAI guest researchers were also invited, the interfaces between regional integration processes, the effects of digital transformation and the challenges for Europe and Latin America in terms of mobility, diversity, inequality and sustainability were explored. A group of students from the Universidad Javeriana presented a paper on the relationship between integration processes and gender policy and analyzed the corresponding policies of the European Union, MERCOSUR and the Pacific Alliance.
