The Integration of Mexican Universities in the Common Higher Education Space (ECOES) and Its Linkages with Other Student Mobility Networks
Mexico’s Common Higher Education Space (ECOES) was created in 2004 and is currently made up of 39 public universities representing all states and regions of Mexico which together have over one million students. ECOES has various programs linking its members: student mobility, distance education, joint graduate programs, digital libraries and joint research. The Student Exchange Program, also fed by a number of the other activities, has been particularly successful due to the widespread participation among ECOES members and scholarships provided by ECOES or the participating institutions themselves. Through it, students gain the opportunity to have a different academic experience within the country, providing an opportunity for greater knowledge of their own country. Mobility plays a fundamental role in the context of globalization in terms of the development of programs of study and to facilitate the recognition of the qualifications delivered. For this reason, there is interest in expanding the mobility options with other networks such as the Macrouniversities Network of Latin America and the Caribbean, the european networks, especially the IberoAmerican ones and those in North America.
