SAFETY AND RISK ABROAD
PhD candidates will normally travel alone to field work or a research stay at a foreign institution. The employer has a responsibility to keep track on travels done by the employees as part of their research fellowship. The UiB system for risk, safety and emergency preparedness is CIM. So far, the system is best suited for group travel. But applications suited for individual travels are being developed. Meanwhile the department decide whether to use CIM or a different system to register work related travels.
Field work and research stays can be registered digitally in CIM - UiB's support system for risk, safety and emergency preparedness before departure. This provides an overview of planned and ongoing trips, Academic leader/Tour leader, updated participant lists with contact and relative information, and enables communication with those who are traveling when needed. The trips will be available both at the unit and at faculty/university level. At each unit there is a Travel administrator which is the support function in CIM.
