International agreements are cooperation contracts whereby two or more international institutions agree to work together on issues such as the exchange of faculty and students, technical assistance programs and research, teaching and extension activities. A cooperation agreement states the roles and responsibilities of the parties entering into a collaborative partnership.

Types of agreements

There are two main categories of international agreements approved for use at UdeA, depending on the intent and purpose of the proposed collaboration.

Framework Agreement

A framework agreement, also referred to as an umbrella agreement, is that in which the parties set out the terms under which collaboration will be made. These types of agreements usually involve cooperation in areas of mutual concern. A framework agreement is typically signed by the rector/president and his counterpart.

Specific Cooperative Agreement

A specific agreement is one that states the knowledge areas, specific activities, roles and financial responsibilities of the parties as well as the academic departments that will be responsible for implementation of the agreement. Specific agreements are normally signed by the relevant dean or department head.

Key elements of a collaborative agreement

The preparation, signing and approval of a cooperation agreement, involves the participation of four key elements including the International Affairs Office, the academic and administrative units, the Office of Legal Counsel and the foreign university.

The guidelines below apply directly to cooperation agreements between Universidad de Antioquia and a partner institution abroad. However, it may be necessary to incorporate any additional provisions at the request of the foreign institution. Cooperation agreement templates should include details like:

    2. Position: ____________________________
