For more than two centuries, the University of Michigan has worked to serve the public and address our world’s most pressing challenges through research, education, and service. As a research university, U-M has always adhered to the fundamental principles of discovery — and this includes our willingness to change. Excellence is a process at U-M, and through our culture of reflection and assessment, we seek continual improvements in all aspects of our mission.

The two institutions agree to endeavour to promote academic and scientific activities.
