Collaboration is the cornerstone of advancing research and discovery.

Sharing materials and data between universities ensures that innovation is not confined within institutional walls, enabling researchers to leverage resources, validate findings, and accelerate scientific progress.

To facilitate this process, our university provides clear guidance on the agreements for sharing research materials and data with external institutions. These agreements help protect intellectual property, ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards, and establish clear terms for usage and ownership.

• Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs): Guidelines for transferring physical materials, such as biological samples, chemical compounds, or experimental reagents
• Data Use Agreements (DUAs): Protocols for sharing datasets while safeguarding privacy, confidentiality, and proper use
