Visiting Scientist Agreement

Visiting Scientist Agreement

Stand-alone Visiting Scholar Agreements are processed by the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs. Policy AC01 - Visiting Scholars, governs the process for designating and approving visiting scholars, the length of time a visiting scholar can remain in residence at Penn State, and the application and approval procedures. Additional information can be found on the Penn State Visiting Scholars website.

However, the Policy does not apply to employees of industry, academia, or the government visiting the University pursuant to a sponsored research agreement. If the visit relates to a Sponsored Research Agreement, please contact your OSP Negotiator for information.
