The collaboration agreements that Unesc establishes with external institutions, whether national or international, are known as agreements. These agreements aim to set the conditions and terms of a partnership. However, not all collaborative actions necessarily require an agreement to be carried out.
It begins with the understanding between Unesc professors and the professors from the other institution (international).
The Unesc professor may send a standard template* from Unesc for the analysis of the other institution. They may accept the template, suggest changes, or propose their own template.
Once the understandings between the professors are concluded and the document templates are defined, the UNESC professor must send the draft to the International Relations Office.
After the analysis and approval by the International Relations Office, the proposed text goes through a greater or lesser number of administrative instances before its signature, depending on the complexity of the planned actions.
After the originals are signed by the participants, one original copy is archived in the Legal Department, and one original copy is sent to the partner institution. There is also the possibility of digital signature; in this case, the agreement is sent via email.
