Benefits of Membership

RECLA has defined lines of action and activities that will be carried out during the current year; where each partner university in the Network defines how to participate, generating an experience tailored to its reality and needs.

We consider two-way participation: a first to make visible and share university experiences in continuing education, and a second to learn and access new knowledge that ultimately contributes to the consolidation of continuing education units with quality standards, internationalization processes, and continuous process improvement, among others.
