Partnerships with universities
In order to facilitate global experiences for UT students and staff members, UT has formal global academic partnerships, as well as other types of university-wide and faculty-specific partnerships with international universities. All of these partnerships are of great importance to UT’s internationalisation strategy and UT collaborates closely with international universities on numerous educational and research projects. To enable international exchange, research and internship opportunities for UT students and employees, the IRP team manages UT-wide partnerships with 19 partner institutions in 11 non-EU countries.

Setting up an agreement with UT
UT's vision: shaping 2030
Our partnerships are informed by UT's vision as the ultimate people-first university of technology. We aim to empower society through sustainable solutions. Our vision Shaping 2030 directs special attention to three societal themes and the challenges they pose; these can all be framed in a single question: how can we contribute to the development of a digital, fair, and sustainable society between now and 2030?
Inter-institutional agreements
The term Inter-Institutional Agreement (IIA) is used for different kinds of agreements on academic cooperation between higher education institutions, such as a Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) and Student/ Staff Exchange Agreements. Agreements on joint programmes (at a bachelor/ master/ PhD level) and consortia agreements (e.g. EIT Digital) have a different procedure.
When a new collaboration initiative is proposed, a UT Agreement Coordinator facilitates the establishment of the formal and legal contract. The procedure can take from three months to one year. The steps involved include orientation and assessment, agreement negotiation, preparation and signing, registration, and monitoring, evaluation and (possible) renewal. For further information, contact the Faculty Coordinator International Affairs or the Administrator Exchange Agreements.
Mobility Online expertise
Student and staff mobility, partnerships and inter-institutional agreements all come together in a tool called Mobility Online. IRP are involved in registering and retrieving the mobility and scholarship information stored in this database. To access data in Mobility Online, contact the Key User.
