Fostering Mutually-Beneficial Partnerships with International Agreements
About Agreements of Cooperation
In an increasingly interconnected world, we recognize the value of international, collaborative research, teaching, exchange, and service. We realize today's most pressing challenges cannot be solved alone. Cross-cultural, cross-border, and cross-disciplinary partnerships and innovation are more critical than ever.
UC Davis Global Affairs seeks to support and strengthen ongoing international scholarship and research linkages across the world.
UC Davis currently has over 140 active Agreements of Cooperation with international partner institutions across more than 40 countries. Most of these agreements are at the initiative of faculty members.

Explore Agreement Types and Templates
UC Davis has an established format known as the Agreement of Cooperation (AOC) with the purpose of creating general agreements of collaboration and cooperation between universities that do not involve the commitment of campus resources. Programmatic agreements that follow an AOC are known at UC Davis as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
