EHaz is a consortium of six research-based universities in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. One of these is the Universidad de Colima. It organizes exchanges between staff and students of engineering and science disciplines involved in the study of natural geological hazards, as well as students of the social sciences acknowledging the importance of political, social, and economic aspects in hazard management.

Opportunities exist at Colima for students to visit from other universities within the EHaz programme. During 2006 5 students came to Colima on internships with some working of topics for their thesis.
