Acuerdo interuniversitario (texto en inglés)

Agreement on Academic Collaboration between the Universität Wien (University of Vienna), Austria (in particular the Centre for Translation Studies) and the Universidad de Buenos Aires


The above mentioned institutions, recognizing the value of scientific exchange and cooperation agree to the following:

a. to develop joint research activities;
b. to invite each other to participate in seminars and conferences organized by the respective institutions;
c. to support mutual visits by faculty members and research associates;
d. to exchange graduate and/or undergraduate students;
e. to explore collaboration in education;
f. to exchange scientific information in the form of publications, instruction materials and other results of teaching and research.

On the part of the University of Vienna, the scope of this Agreement is limited to the Centre for Translation Studies.

The terms of collaboration for each specific activity implemented under this cooperation agreement shall be discussed mutually and agreed upon in writing by both parties prior to the initiation of that activity.

Financial resources shall be regulated on a case-by-case basis. Given the restrictions on their respective budgets, however, there is no expectation that the two parties will commit financial resources to these co-operative activities.

Both institutions subscribe to the policy of equal opportunity and to not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, ethnicity, religion, national origin, handicap or sexual orientation. The two institutions shall abide by these principles in the administration of this Agreement.

The University of Vienna declares to adhere to the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers and to follow the principles listed therein.

According to the ‘Frauenförderungsplan’ (Affirmative Action Plan) of the University of Vienna, the University of Vienna will favour women over equally qualified men to actively encourage women in teaching and research within the University of Vienna.

Neither the University of Vienna nor the Universidad de Buenos Aires will be held responsible for any liability whatsoever; furthermore, neither party shall be required to purchase any insurance against loss or damage to any personal property to which this agreement relates.

This Agreement is effective as of the date of execution by the appropriate legal representatives of each signatory institution. It shall remain in effect for five (5) years. Both parties shall review the status of the Agreement at the end of a 4 (four) year period to determine any modification that might be necessary. Depending on the outcome of the evaluation, the parties will decide whether to extend this Agreement for another period of 5 (five) years.
This also includes the waiver of the written form itself.

Either party may terminate this agreement earlier by written notice. Such notification must be given at least twelve month in advance of the effective date of termination. In such case both parties concerned will take the necessary measures until the actions in process will be finished.

The Agreement is executed in two original copies, one for each party to this Agreement.
