Abstract
Internationalization is not in end in itself and its main benefit is to contribute to the transformation and improvement of tertiary education systems, in terms of quality, relevance and competitiveness. Internationalization strategies are key to educating graduates with the intercultural and cognitive skills needed by global society; to update educational offerings and increase the relevance and quality of research and innovation capacity, among other things. In this respect, it is important to assess the progress made on matters related to the internationalization of tertiary education during recent years in Latin America and the Caribbean, to evaluate its impact on tertiary education, and to review whether it is helping the region to make the transformation the sector urgently needs.
