Oregon State University engages in education and research collaborations with institutions and colleagues around the world. The Office of Faculty Affairs provides support with establishing new agreements and helps track global activity across the university.
A Letter of Collaboration (LOC) is a non-binding, general agreement initiating relations with a partner institution. An LOC expresses mutual interest in engaging in cooperative academic or research efforts. This is often the first step toward developing a more concrete program. Any language deviating from the template, including LOCs originating with the partner, must be reviewed by Contract Services.
Education Abroad Programs can take the following forms:
Please contact the the Office of Global Opportunities (OSU GO) for more information about initiating an Education Abroad program.
If you are interested in creating an international agreement that does not fit into the categories above, or still have questions, please email the Global Affairs Associate or call (541) 737-6209.
