The Cuba TIES organizing committee welcomes students to learn, network, and share at Cuba TIES, the largest workshop on internationalization of higher education in Cuba.  The Student Forum is a high-impact, immersive experience. 

Students can submit proposals for papers related to any of the workshops of the International Scientific Convention. Successful candidates will travel to Cuba to present their papers in a poster session with Cuban students attended by international education leaders, researchers, and other professionals from around the world. 

A select number of scholars will be invited to publish a paper of their work in one of the various journals of La Universidad de Cienfuegos including, Universidad y Sociedad, their scientific journal. (ISSN Number: 2218-3620).
