Informal International Collaborations Tool
Researchers (including staff, postdocs, and graduate students) are encouraged to report their informal collaborations in the Informal International Collaborations (IIC) tool. The VPR Compliance team will review each submitted collaboration and contact the researcher with any questions or concerns.
Visual Compliance
Before considering a research collaboration, or any exchange of material or information, MIT researchers should screen their collaborators against the restricted parties lists using Visual Compliance.
Read more about how to use Visual Compliance, and contact MIT Export Control if your screening identifies a match.
Travel Authorization Letter (for Hand-Carrying Items)
If you need to travel internationally with MIT-related items and cannot ship them in advance, use the Office of the General Counsel's Travel Authorization Letter to document their use. The letter should be signed by your DLCI head. There is no need to produce it unless your items are questioned at a border.
