As a UK-based university with a global outlook, our people are key to our success. We are committed to supporting our community by ensuring the International Mobility service aligns with the global reach of our initiatives and activities.
Whilst Imperial supports opportunities for our people to work overseas - whether extending a conference trip to work remotely, collaborating with international partners on shared research projects, or contributing to Imperial’s Strategic Global Vision - doing so can also carry significant financial, legal, regulatory, reputational and safety risks. Our International Mobility service is designed to ensure that we meet our duty of care to our employees whilst supporting the individual and their department to understand any associated considerations.
