The University Technology, [U]Tech department is available to assist faculty, staff and students as they plan for technology requirements during international travel. Support can range from guidance on configuring mobile phones to recommendations for planning a comprehensive IT infrastructure in support of ongoing projects spanning multiple countries.
Regardless of the scope of your journey, the goal of UTech is to provide an optimal computing and communications experience anywhere members of the Case Western Reserve University community may travel in support of research, educational and collaborative endeavors.
Faculty, staff, and students travelling abroad should also refer to the Center for International Affairs resources at case.edu/international. Also, because taking computer devices and cell phones when travelling abroad could have export compliance and privacy implications, faculty, staff and students should refer to the CWRU Compliance Office’s web pages on travelling abroad: https://case.edu/compliance/about/export-control/traveling-abroad
