UC faculty members may request the University’s signature on international research agreements, collaboration agreements, memoranda of understanding (MOUs), and other related documents. All agreements are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Office of Legal Affairs and often require multiple rounds of revision before approval. As a result, no fixed processing time can be guaranteed.

To request the signature of an agreement, applicants must:

• Demonstrate the support of their Faculty by submitting the Internal Mandatory Declaration (DOI) signed by the corresponding Dean’s Office. Download the template here.
• Complete the Legal Representative Signature Request Form, attaching the agreement requiring signature along with all supporting documentation needed for its review. Access the online form here.
• Provide any additional information requested by the Office of Legal Affairs, the Office of Research, or another unit within the Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies.
• Notify the Office of Research of any amendments or modifications to the agreement by emailing uc_research@uc.cl.
