What is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and how do I obtain one?
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) describes an agreement between parties. For example, two institutions may agree to submit grant proposals within a certain time with the goal of establishing a research collaboration. The MOU formalizes the intention of the two parties without a legal commitment. If you need a Memorandum of Understanding to begin a collaboration in another country, Procurement and Contracts Contacts can advise you.
