MIT has a long history of engaging in international activities. The Global MIT website provides general information about a variety of international research and educational initiatives.
International engagements may present contracting challenges, such as expectations related to publication or intellectual property that differ from how U.S. industry and universities transact business. Give your RAS Contract Administrator (CA) advance notice of your plans, so they can address individual circumstances or refer you to other relevant MIT resources such as:
- RAS International Liaison: Contact Sharon Ray (sharay@mit.edu) for international engagements such as Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships
- VPF Global Operations: Contact for assistance with international tax, finance, or accounting questions. Activities outside of the U.S. or funding from foreign countries may trigger additional tax or reporting requirements.
- MIT Export Control: Consult on export control regulations.
- MIT International Scholars Office: Consult if your project anticipates visiting researchers, faculty, or lecturers.
Global Support Resources provides comprehensive administrative resources from across MIT to assist members of our community in the earliest stages of planning and managing their global activities such as risk considerations, travel policies, international SOS.
- If you are considering a project in, related to, or funded by a person or entity from China, Russia, or Saudi Arabia, it requires an elevated-risk project review process.
- The International Project Roadmap provides procedural steps in completing agreements to conduct international projects or activity.
