Travel Insurance and Risk Assessment
When travelling on University business, Faculty staff are entitled to University travel insurance. To be covered for your time away from Cambridge, you must complete a very brief online risk assessment followed by a simple registration form to generate an insurance certificate.
If you are organising a field trip for students, you should also apply for insurance to cover this in advance of the event.
If you are planning a longer (30+ days) research trip or undertaking fieldwork away from Cambridge, please take some time to review the enhanced University guidance on risk assessment as relevant for your activity and take further advice from the Faculty Manager.
Travel and Materials Funding
The Faculty is able to offer small-scale funding to support academic colleagues with their research activity. Further information is available here.
Research Support
The Faculty's Research Committee has developed a resource for academic colleagues seeking research grants with all details available here.
Research Ethics
Faculty Guidelines are available on our website and additional University resources are available here.
Personal & Professional Development
The University offers a range of resources and programmes for those involved in teaching, research, leadership and the delivery of professional services as well as an extensive IT training programme. Faculty staff are encouraged to take advantage of these programmes.
