The International Centre is your primary resource for questions related to international travel or partnerships. Whether you’re planning to travel, supporting someone who is, or want to work more closely with others around the world, we’re here to help.

Partnerships, proposals and funding opportunities

With over 500 active research, funding and education partnerships around the world, we’re experts in helping you identify potential partner institutions and develop, negotiate and renew agreements with them.

We host several in-person information sessions each term on topics related to international funding opportunities, international development funders and agreement development.

We provide support for international mobility, including travel risk advice and access to International SOS, which provides free, 24-7 medical and travel security assistance to faculty, staff and students.
