New Procedures for Hosting Visiting Researchers and Scholars

New procedures for hosting visiting researchers and scholars will take effect May 1, 2014.

UGA welcomes the opportunity to host Visiting Researchers and Scholars (VRS), at all levels from undergraduate to faculty/professional, and works to assure that they have a productive visit.

In the interest of providing access to resources for the VRS, while also protecting the VRS and UGA, the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Office of International Education will implement new VRS hosting procedures effective May 1, 2014.  The new procedures will start with the faculty sponsor and/or sponsoring unit completing a VRS questionnaire and will include obtaining a Visitor Agreement signed by the VRS as well as an onboarding process.  The full procedure can be found on the OVPR VRS webpage: https://ovpr.uga.edu/visiting/.

Questions about hosting a VRS can be directed to  vrs@uga.edu.
