Visitors and export control

Visitors can pose export control and research security risks. 

In particular, this applies to visitors from embargoed or sanctioned countries and/or those who work in research areas identified by the UK government as more likely to pose national security risks, before, during and after their stay. 

In order to support departments, labs or research groups to safeguard their facilities, shared servers, data etc. and ensure compliance with export control regulations which may impose restrictions on access and use of equipment or software, the University provides a visitor security guide on steps to take and risks to consider regarding visitors.
