Cooperation Framework Agreements are tools that the University uses to strengthen relations with universities and research centres abroad.

The aim of such an agreement is to promote and optimise research/teaching collaboration through a reciprocal exchange of teaching staff, researchers and students, along with the creation of shared educational/training programmes. The agreement also sets out to promote collaboration and participation in research projects.

There are different types of Agreement:

• Framework Agreeement, cooperation agreement for general purposes
• Executive protocol, which specify in detail collaborative issues and/or specific projects
• Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), a statement of convergence of will
