International Alliances and Networks
The UCA, in its policy of promoting internalisation and external projection, participates in numerous international networks. This participation offers us a series of advantages by allowing us to share experiences and promote synergies in research, teaching and management, facilitating the exchange of students, teaching staff and administrative and service staff, speeding up the work of initiating and executing international projects, among others.
It is an alliance involving essentially 6 universities whose main connection is the sea.

As an alliance, SEA-EU shares a comprehensive long-term strategy for education, committed to providing outstanding education and research, as well as creating the conditions in which a student can move freely and confidently between disciplines, languages, countries and sectors.
