The issue of internationalization of research and teaching has arisen of teaching and research internationalization as important and current in different domains and theoretical models, despite the lack of studies and the necessity of deepening the existing ones. The main purpose of this conference was to consider some specificities of teaching and research internalization in psychology and education, teaching and research focusing on the relationship between Portugal and Brazil. To address the transactional dimension of teaching and research implied considering variables such as education and values, humanization, democratization, fragilities, investments, knowledge environments, visibility, assessment, projects and bilateral agreements. The problem considered was: how do relationships between these variables occur, considering the multiple interactions that constrain them, the global challenges, and the search for Portugal-Brazil interactions? The concept of higher education internationalization has emerged encompassing a diversity of related notions and several development phases. Internationalization was conceptualized as international exchanges related to education, while globalization was understood as an advanced phase of the internationalization process. The lack of empirical studies was observed, although some conceptual perspectives suggest hypothesis to address psychology and education affirmation difficulties, when responding to the challenges posed by teaching and research internationalization, both in general and in the Luso-American knowledge sphere. It can be seen that, throughout history, the greatest mistake in education and science was "giving help to the most powerful", in war and in starvation. We conclude by mentioning the urgency to humanize science, internationalizing and presenting it to the citizens, whatever their country. Sociopolitical implications are mentioned, and intervention suggestions are made, directed towards an education for all.
