International Partnerships and Collaborations
University Guest Authorisation Procedure:
As part of the University’s response to the UUK Guidelines on security-related risks, the University has rolled out of a unified system for authorising guests to the University (be that on campus or on our digital platforms), where there is potential for the guest to gain access to “restricted information” (intellectual property, research or knowledge).
The University Guest Authorisation Procedure should now be used to authorise guests (as defined within the guidance) and records retained locally in accordance with the Master Records Retention Schedule.
Please complete a University Guest Authorisation Form in accordance with the above procedure.
If you have any questions regarding international partnerships and collaborations please contact Louise Spenceley who will be happy to help you.

If you have concerns relating to academic freedom and think any of the legal safeguards (set out below) are being transgressed as a result of our international partnerships, please contact academicfreedom-intlpartnerships@sussex.ac.uk.
Those safeguards (as they appear in HERA) are that academics have the right to:
a) carry out teaching and research; and
b) publish the outcomes of research,
in ways which question and test established ideas and may present unpopular points of view, without placing themselves in jeopardy of losing their jobs or privileges.
