Abstract
Academic mobility between Brazil and Portugal has always been a topic of interest for higher education researchers on both sides of the Atlantic. Until the founding of Brazil's first higher education institutions (HEIs), Portugal was the main destination for higher academic education (Cunha, 2007). At the end of the 20th century, the number of students and faculty members participating in international exchanges increased exponentially, and both countries invested in promoting and financing international mobility to provide new experiences and knowledge (bilateral and multilateral agreements, international programmes and institutional protocols). More recently, with a greater focus on the internationalisation of higher education, international exchanges of students, teachers and researchers have received even more attention. While academic exchange has been promoted as a form of study with a plurality of thoughts, scientific trends and worldviews, contributing to the training of citizens with a global perspective, international mobility has also come to be seen as a source of income for HEIs and as a national investment (economic and soft power diplomacy; Li, 2018).
