MAKING ALLIANCES WITH UPCH
Agreements are the backbone of the relationship between UPCH and other institutions, including academic institutions, government offices, companies, and NGOs. They come in three types: framework or general agreements, specific agreements, and addenda.
In general, framework agreements are the first contact between UPCH and the institution involved, and generally are the basis for establishing specific agreements. Specific agreements provide for exchange programs, bilateral projects, training programs, and technology transfer. Addenda are modifications to the agreements.
If you are interested in pursuing an agreement with UPCH, please consider the following:
1. The objective or purpose of the agreement. Agreements are signed between institutions because of a common interest or aim, for example, student exchange programs, joint research projects, capacity-building programs, knowledge or technological transfers, and much more.
2. Your main collaborator or partner at UPCH. Your primary contact at UPCH will advocate for your specific agreement, and more importantly, be the main collaborator for the joint project or program that results from your agreement.
3. Existing agreements. Please make sure that your institution does not have an existing agreement with UPCH.

Once you're addressed these three basic issues, you can consider using one of our existing templates or consult your institution for an example. Our Office recommends sending two agreements: general agreement to establish an official relationship between institutions, and specific agreement to determine the terms for your specific project or program.
