A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a formal agreement or document that is mutually agreed upon and signed by two or more parties to establish collaboration. The MOU outlines the terms, objectives, and general scope of the collaboration without any financial obligations. Typically, an MOU has a standard duration of three years. It should be noted that an MOU is not legally binding. Additionally, in the context of projects under the Research Management Centre, an MOU does not contribute to MYRA points.
A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is a formal and legally binding document that is entered into between two or more parties to establish collaboration. The MOA outlines specific programs, projects, or activities and entails financial implications, whether in terms of monetary value or in-kind contributions. Unlike an MOU, an MOA is enforceable by law. It is important to note that an MOA contributes to MYRA points for projects under the Research Management Centre.
A Student Exchange Agreement (SEA) is a specific agreement that stipulates all important terms and conditions relating to student exchange activities between both institutions. This agreement shall facilitate the exchange process between the partner institutions, usually for a specific duration, ranging from a semester to an academic year.
In IIUM, there are 3 coordinators for each MOU/MOA. For international collaboration you may go through Office of International Affairs (IO), for industry collaboration you may go through Office of Industrial Linkages (OIL) and for research collaboration/grant agreement you may go through Research Management Centre (RMC).
