UROP & Travel Overseas

Occasionally, your research may require that students conduct fieldwork or attend conferences, etc. that would require overseas travel.

The decision to travel overseas requires careful consideration, particularly in these troubled times. If you plan to invite one of your UROP researchers to conduct MIT research abroad, students are responsible for fully understanding the related travel risks and ensuring that appropriate safeguards are in place.

The links below refer you to pages in the Guidelines section of this site, where we provide students with the information necessary  to make informed decisions regarding overseas travel. These pages include MIT travel guidelines and policies, tips and resources for undergraduate travelers, and required travel safety paperwork.

  • UROP Travel Guidelines: Information on requirements for UROP travel, including MIT's Travel Risk Policy.

  • Travel Safety Forms: PDF versions of emergency contact sheets, travel checklist and assumption of risk forms, and undergraduate travel forms (for higher-risk destinations).

  • Travel Tips: Tips and suggestions for UROP students conducting  research overseas.

  • Links and Resources: Links to web sites with useful information on travel preparation and safety, and contact information for MIT-based resources.
