Such research projects may also be referred to as externally funded projects. The RCA is not legally binding.

Research Collaborative Agreements are processed at the level of the Office of Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academia) following recommendation of the respective Faculty/Centre. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mauritius is the signatory for all Research Collaborative Agreements entered into.
