The issue of internationalization of knowledge is not new. However, it is one of the most complex and strategic ones that higher education must face. Based on traditional methods, academic exchange now has a more comprehensive approach, supported by the use of new information and communications technologies. In this respect, this article aims to analyze the realities, challenges, opportunities and threats that the internationalization of knowledge imposes on the university in general. Based on the concept of traditional internationalization, focus is placed on aspects related to higher education and its importance to generate opportunities and expand the horizons of production, storage and transmission of knowledge at this time, characterized by globalization, and as an urgent task in a world of growing inequalities and major social and economic crises, to overcome cultural, political and geographical barriers. Internationalization of knowledge in the current era is a relevant issue, which imposes new challenges and requires an adequate culture of internationalization within universities, as well as the adequate preparation of the actors directly or indirectly involved in its application.

Keywords : internationalization; knowledge; higher education.
