This article portrays the partial results of a quali/quantitative research about the internationalization process within a community university of Rio Grande do Sul, RS, located in the northwest of the state. The project, funded by Fapergs, was developed at the Center for Studies and Research in Higher Education Processes (NEPPES), which is part of the GIEPES Network (Network of the International Group for Studies and Research in Higher Education). It aimed: “To investigate how URI has built its internationalization process, taking into account the official documents of the university, the Pedagogical Projects of the Undergraduate Courses, the Projects of the Stricto Sensu Programs, seeing that the internationalization has been considered, nowadays, the fourth university mission”. By investigating the theme, it was possible to conclude that there was an advance in the concept of internationalization and a greater integration through actions and agreements with Latin American universities, contradicting the first signs of internationalization that pointed to a much more expressive number with signed agreements with European universities; and finally that, even though the numbers of academics and professors who have experienced academic mobility processes appear to be low relative to large universities, it has been very significant if we consider the locus where we develop the research.

Keywords : internationalization; academic mobility; Higher Education.
