International Agreements

International agreements with partner universities provide the framework for UNSAM's internationalization actions. The aim is to strengthen our participation networks in academic, scientific, cultural and management mobility programs.

Brief Nomenclature of Contract/Agreement Types

Cooperation Agreement: University partnership agreement; may also be concluded at the faculty level as a faculty partnership agreement.

Memorandum of Understanding (MoU): a declaration of intent signed by all negotiating parties that is not legally binding. The MoU summarizes the results of discussions held to date, proposes a timetable for the implementation of projects, and names future contract partners. It is advisable to include a limit with regard to the validity period.

Letter of Intent (LOI): Declaration of intent by one of the negotiating parties that is not legally binding.
