Abstract

In recent years and due to the health crisis, the opportunities for face-to-face internatio-nal cooperation have been limited, and the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) developed a proposal to consider non-face-to-face international cooperation. The aim of the study was to apply a protocol based on virtual platforms and collaborative tools to promote the internationalization of training for research. Contacts were established between laboratories of the parent research centre and other international collaborating centres. Participants were assigned an international peer from each centre. Between January and May 2022, a work plan was established in four phases, for the use of virtual tools. In the pilot project, five pairs of doctoral students completed the work plan. The results of the collaborations were published in an open collaborative Padlet. Niches for transfer and future collaboration between research groups were established. The students valued this project as useful for learning about different cultural and social contexts, for finding ways to transfer the research in the crossed socioeconomic context and to overcome the mobility restrictions imposed in recent years.
