In Barcelona, on 8 June 2006, the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) and the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3), at the Open University of Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), signed a memorandum of understanding to support collaboration in teaching and research over the coming years. For example, one prospect is the potential for co-teaching a virtual doctoral course, probably in the Spring of 2007. The course would be provided for doctoral students at the OII and IN3. However, a range of other collaborative activities are envisioned. See: www.uoc.edu
