The Universitat de València is one of the most important universities of Europe in respect of receiving Erasmus students, as well as sending them on this emblematic European mobility programme. Together with this European dimension, the Universitat de València is also characterised by its significant international presence, with more than a thousand active agreements in collaboration with institutions on the five continents. 

Regarding this international dimension, stand out: Confucius Institute, a centre for learning the Chinese language and culture, which coordinates the whole Latin American Confucius network, and the Russian Centre, one of the only two university centres that count on the support of the Russian World Foundation. The Universitat de València holds, in addition, the General Secretary for ATEI, the association that brings together the television stations and universities that produce audiovisual content for the Latin American communication space. 

The Universitat de València also stands out because of its international formative dimension, with several dual-degree international programmes, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. These degrees make it one of the most dynamic European universities in matters of teaching offer. 

To face Europe's challenges, and hold a dialogue with several university structures linked to internationalisation, the Secretary of State for the European Union, Juan González-Barba, along with the General Manager for Internal Market and Other Community Policies, Pascual Navarro, will visit the Universitat de València on this Wednesday 18 November.

In addition to meeting up with the Principal and Vice-Principals with responsibilities for internationalisation, research and studies, the Secretary of State will hold a dialogue with part of the university community, which is entitled Entre la lógica estatal y la integración supranacional ('Between state logic and supranational integration', in English). 

Thus, the student associations of the Universitat de València that work on the European network will take part in the dialogue: ELSA (European Law Students Association), AIESEC and ESN (Erasmus Students Network). The European drama project Escena Erasmus, awarded by the European Parliament, will also participate. The debate will also count on the collaboration of the deans of the Faculties of Law and Economics, and the directors of the European Documentation Centre, the Confucius Institute and of the Russian Centre of University. 

The dialogue will start at 10 am on Wednesday 18 November. It can be followed live since it will be broadcast by UVcommunication through the Audiovisual Workshop of the Universitat de València (TAU) via the following link: mediauniweb.uv.es/secretarioestadoue
