Introduction: Scientific internationalization of research groups is addressed here in terms of internationalization strategies.First, the concept of research group, internationalization strategies, knowledge production goals and research orientation are proposed and defined.Secondly, the results of research obtained between 2011 and el 2012 are described and analyzed based on the analysis of a Veterinary Sciences research group at an Argentine university.Methodology: A qualitative type study was carried out, based on interviews with those responsible for a research group and analysis of that same group's institutional documents.Results: Two main internationalization strategies were found in the research group studied; on the one hand, those involving coordination between the goals for knowledge production and orientation of the research, and on the other hand, complementation between institutionalized financing mechanisms and additional funds generated by the group.Conclusions: There is evidence of awareness of the importance of internationalization in the research group in the framework of knowledge production and fundraising; however, there are differences regarding the time for orientation of knowledge production focused on the international or local sphere.
