Memoranda of understanding (MOUs) serve to establish principles between the University of Toronto Scarborough and international partners that will guide future institutional partnership arrangements (campus-wide). MOUs can, depending on the unique characteristics and requirements of the partnership, serve as the basis for future accords in areas such as academic, research, mobility, capacity building, etc. In some cases, MOUs are not required for the establishment of a formal partnership. MOUs advance and support the international aspirations of UTSC in line with its strategic vision: Inspiring Inclusive Excellence: A Strategic Vision for the University of Toronto Scarborough (2020-2025), and University of Toronto’s Three Priorities and International Strategic Plan. For information on creating non-binding MOUs specific to UTSC, please contact Carlos Vargas, Director, International and Global Engagement.
Letters of Cooperation (LoCs) officialize existing or future collaborations in support of international engagements by individual UTSC faculty members or departments. Certain small-scale collaborations might require a LoC as acknowledgement for further advancing international collaborations. For more information, please contact Maryam Ali, Manager of Operations and Project Management, Office of the Vice-Principal Academic & Dean, UTSC.
