The objective of the present study is to propose an organizational innovation in the internationalization process of the University of Brasília (UnB), evaluating its implementation based on the guidelines of the Internationalization Policy for the period 2018-2022 and the current Institutional Development Plan. The context of internationalization in which the Higher Education Institution (HEI) is inserted will be analyzed, as well as the need to promote internationalization as established in the Legal Framework for Science, Technology and Innovation in Brazil, considering the HEI as a Scientific, Technological Institution and Innovation (ICT). Considering UnB's innovation and internationalization panel, an exploratory research will be carried out, which will consist of gathering information on the development of its internationalization process. This collection of information will be analyzed qualitatively, in the description of the results presented so that it is possible to identify the internationalization status of UnB and compare it to an at-home internationalization model, according to the theoretical characterization proposed by Jane Knight (1994, 2003, 2005, 2020). It is expected to identify the advantages and weaknesses of this process to know how internalization is developed in the institutional dimension of UnB.
