Travel

Travel Insurance The University provides travel insurance for employees and registered post-graduate students of the University of Cambridge whilst travelling abroad on University of Cambridge business. Cover is also provided for graduate students registered with the University of Cambridge and for undergraduates of the University of Cambridge and official volunteer workers travelling on supervised departmental fieldtrips outside the UK. Currently no charge is made for this cover, the costs being met by the University's insurance budget. However and most importantly, employees, registered post-graduate students and departments (in the case of fieldtrips) are required to apply for cover using the appropriate application process. The various application processes can be found here.

Please do remember that alongside filling out the University travel insurance form  and prior to travel a completed  risk assessment form must be submitted to the Departmental Administrator.  Failure to submit a Risk Assessment form will invalidate your insurance.

For medium and high risk travel please see the University website here: https://www.safety.admin.cam.ac.uk/policy-guidance/miscellaneous/hsd089m-guidance-managing-risks-travel-fieldwork-and-work-away.

Eligibility criteria and full application guidelines can be found by clicking on the link above.

 

Voluntary registration of staff interests with their Head of Department

The purpose of this registration is so that members of University staff have an opportunity to make voluntary, confidential registrations of interests with their Head of Department. This register would not be accessible to central officers. The purpose of this is to provide a service to help members of staff, for example who are applying for research grants from funding bodies, such as the Wellcome Foundation, which require interests to be registered. A registration form for use can be download here and Heads of Department are invited to publicise this opportunity for voluntary registration now. A draft note about the registration and declaration of interests is attached for the information of Heads of Departments. You are free to reproduce this, but it will be revised in due course when the full system of registration is in force. At that point it, and the relevant forms will be available on the web.

Please note that Wellcome Trust grant applicants and those employed on Wellcome grants will be required to register.
