International Partnership Agreements
International partnership agreements are meant to encourage academic collaborations, such as student mobility and joint research projects, between institutions.
To formalize a partnership, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is signed to establish a broad framework of potential cooperative activities. An Agreement of Cooperation is a separate document that sets forth the terms of a specific collaborative program or activity.
At Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³, the Office of Academic Affairs, Office of General Counsel, and International Center are involved in the process of establishing partnership agreements.
As an initial point of contact, please send a message to Robyn Brown, Executive Director of Global Engagement at rkb@uakron.edu, if:
You are an international institution that:
- is interested in forming a new partnership with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³, or
- would like to visit Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³ to discuss potential collaborative endeavors; or
- would like to amend or renew an existing agreement with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³.
You are a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³ faculty member that has already obtained support from your Chair/Director and Dean and:

- would like to establish a more specific Agreement of Cooperation with an institution with which Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÊ×Ò³ has a valid signed MOU; or
- would like to review a signed agreement to further develop an active partnership.
