Partnerships

Travel Abroad and to Remote Regions of Canada

INRS encourages members of its community to participate in teaching, research, training, and outreach activities abroad as well as in remote regions of Canada. Any student, staff member, or faculty member undertaking an academic activity internationally or in a remote region of Canada has the responsibility to report their trip in advance via the ABEO platform to enable the monitoring and management of appropriate safety measures.

The trip declaration allows INRS to assess the risks associated with the trip, provide tailored support, and respond effectively in an emergency. Certain trips involving a high or major level of risk must also be approved by the institution prior to departure.

Briefly:

  • Requirement to declare trips in ABEO for applicable stays;
  • Assessment of the trip’s risk level;
  • Approval process for certain trips;
  • Support provided before, during, and after the trip;
  • Emergency measures and assistance in the event of an incident.

Access the institutional intranet—ABEO section—to learn about the steps to follow, review insurance requirements, access pre-departure resources, and consult emergency procedures.
