University-wide university partnership agreements (cooperation agreements) form the contractual basis for research and teaching collaboration that goes beyond personal relationships between researchers and academics. This includes, for example:
If cooperation with an international university requires the exchange of personal data, financial contributions, or guarantees for the recognition of university credits, it is advisable to conclude a partnership agreement
