Develop your proposal with as much detail as possible and assess whether any physical goods – or the technology or knowledge related to them – you want to share are controlled, and if they are, whether there are any codes relating to them.

If there are controlled items involved in your research, please get in touch with your R&IS Departmental Support Officer who will assess whether a Licence is necessary. You can still keep in touch with your collaborators in the meantime. However, please do not share technical information, research data, or knowledge which is not publicly available until R&IS informs you it is safe to do so.

If you don’t identify any applicable codes in your project assessment, you still need to undertake due diligence with regards export control. Please, remind that the PI is ultimately responsible for ensuring the project complies with the UK Export Control Legislation.
