These accords support capacity-building, research, mobility, and other forms of academic partnerships. They are required for formalization purposes to support advanced discussions, which lead to concrete international initiatives. They articulate and clarify the working terms agreed upon by all parties involved. Carleton International manages over 100 institutional MOUs in over 40 countries.<\/p>\n<p>The primary aim of any MOU is to advance Carleton&#8217;s academic and research goals as set out in the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/president\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carleton-Strategic-Integrated-Plan-2020-2025-Jan-2022.pdf\">Strategic Integrated Plan<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ci\/wp-content\/uploads\/International-Strategic-Plan-Web-Version-Final-January-28-2022.pdf\">International Strategic Plan<\/a>.

To initiate an MOU, the faculty champion must complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ci\/wp-content\/uploads\/MOU-Proposal-Form-Feb2025.pdf\">International MOU Proposal Form<\/a> and submit it to <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ci\/people\/ridhima-peravali\/\">Ridhima Peravali<\/a>. Forms should include a description of the proposed institutional partner, a summary of the intended areas of cooperation (including activities), potential Carleton resource commitments, a list of the units or departments involved, as well as a clear explanation of the mutually beneficial elements of the partnership. All MOUs must be reviewed by Carleton International prior to being negotiated. This process includes a legal review, risk assessment, and an administrative review.<\/p>\n<p>Following the review, Carleton International will negotiate with the partner in consultation with the faculty champion to ensure consistency and clarity regarding the objectives and goals. We help determine what type of agreement is required and how the review or approval process should be managed. As the primary point of contact with the other institution, it will be the faculty champion\u2019s responsibility to follow through the terms of the agreement during the life of the accord.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/dd><dl><\/div>\n<div class=\"slideme\"><dl class=\"slideme__list\"><dt class=\"slideme__term\"><a href=\"#slideme-other-types-of-agreements\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"slideme-other-types-of-agreements\" class=\"slideme__heading slideme__trigger\">Other Types of Agreements<\/a><\/dt><dd class=\"slideme__description\" id=\"slideme-other-types-of-agreements\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p><\/p>\n<p>An MOU might still be required as an umbrella accord by some international partners.
