Welcome!

The Toolkit provides assistance to Yale University faculty, students, post-docs and staff conducting international activities, whether abroad or on campus. The Toolkit has two main functions:

  • Give the Yale community a central point of access to resources at Yale and elsewhere that support our international activities.
  • Provide information and tools to enhance safety, reduce risks, and assist the Yale community with the legal and regulatory requirements that apply to international activities.

To be able to view all content on this site, Yale faculty, staff and students should login to the Yale portal.
