The term ‘inter-institutional agreements’ is used for different kinds of agreements on academic cooperation between higher education institutions, such as Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) and Students and/or Staff Exchange Agreements. Agreements on joint programmes (at a bachelor/master/PhD level) and consortia agreements (e.g. EIT Digital) have a different procedure. A formal procedure has been agreed in 2018 to inform relevant parties in faculties and (service) departments on the standard way agreements are set up.
