The University of San Carlos joined the signing of the Letter of Cooperation of the Philippine Internationalization Network (PHL IN-NET) as well as its First National Conference on the Internationalization of Philippine Higher Education on July 12, 2022, in Baguio City. 

The event was part of the ANTENA Project’s Training of Trainors Conference 2 (TOT2) which was hosted by Benguet State University (BSU), Saint Louis University (SLU), and the Commission on Higher Education.

As a background, the ANTENA Project is an endeavor led by the University of Alicante in Spain with the support of the University of Montpellier in France and the European Foundation for Management Development in Belgium. 

It has 11 consortium members from the Philippines, including USC. The project’s main goal is to help improve the Philippines’ credit recognition and mobility system and international research activities and develop specialized staff in international relations. 

The Carolinian contingent is composed of two teams: USC’s Internationalization Office with Director Brenette L. Abrenica and Asst. Director Fr. Eleno Bucia, SVD and Erasmus Plus Project Antena’s Quality Control & Monitoring Team with Dr. Monell John Canizares and Engr. Irish Tejero-Dakay.
