Question
When a research agreement has finished and you receive your free technology, does your research partner receive the same technology? I would guess that both parties receive one of their respective "next" technologies, which may or may not be the same, right?
Update: This question has been made obsolete by the June 2011 patch. Research agreements now give a tech boost instead of a free tech. Tech boosts start at 50% of the median value of all techs you can research. Can be boosted to 100% if you both start Rationalism and build the Porcelain Tower.
Answer
Correct, they are not necessarily the same. You will receive a random technology from those that are available to you, and they will receive a random one for them. This does imply that if you are making use of research agreements, you should try not to "skip" techs that are cheap, since you want the research agreement to give you something as "expensive" as possible.
