XVIII.F   The Office of International Affairs

The Office of International Affairs supports the international activities of the schools, departments, offices, centers, and organizations at Yale; promotes Yale and its faculty to international audiences; and works to increase the visibility of Yale's international activities around the globe. The staff are able to provide country-specific contacts and information, materials about the University in nine languages, and logistical assistance in developing new projects and resolving problems.

The University supports international collaborations and recognizes that they sometimes involve formal agreements that have legal standing or obligate the University in other ways. In order to assist in creating such relationships, the Office of International Affairs provides advice and guidelines for this process. Faculty who wish to explore having a formal relationship with a non-U.S. university, research institution, or other entity, are therefore asked to consult with the Office of International Affairs at http://www.world.yale.edu/about/contact.html .

The University strongly encourages all members of the university community who are contemplating travel abroad for educational or other purposes to plan well in advance and to take precautions to ensure a safe trip. A range of resources for trips are available at http://world.yale.edu/abroad/index.html . In addition to Web-based information that is provided by the U.S. State Department and various other governments, the University encourages members of the Yale community to consult MEDEX, a private travel emergency assistance provider engaged by Yale to support students, faculty, and staff who are traveling internationally. The MEDEX Web site, http://www.medexassist.com/ , provides up-to-date information about travel risks of all kinds.
