Export Control - Travel and Conferences

Overview
For information security reasons, colleagues and students should not take their University laptops on personal travel overseas.
However, international travel may be undertaken for a wide variety of business purposes. In accordance with the University's Overseas Working Policy, all students and colleagues must complete a Travel Risk Assessment Form (internal login required) and ensure they follow the latest Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) foreign travel advice.
If a University colleague is travelling overseas with controlled technology, then an Export Licence may also be required. This applies to:
- Physical goods
- Hard copy documents
- Verbal communications and presentations
- Accessing technology, data and know-how saved on a University laptop or USB stick, or contained within an email
Key Principles
There are three key principles to consider in relation to overseas business travel:
- Is the technology, data or know-how controlled under UK Export Control legislation?
- Do any exemptions apply?
- Are there any end-use concerns?
Internal support can be accessed by completing an Export Control Query Form.
