Notice Board

ORIS and ITS are excited to launch a short-term Laptop Loaner Program designed specifically for researchers traveling internationally (including locations on the List of Named Research Organizations) and for business purposes that pose a risk of data loss. This initiative will support your significant work, and the security of your research and personal data during international travel will also be ensured. 

Program Highlights 

• The program provides laptops preconfigured with necessary security measures, ensuring your research stays protected. 
• Researchers must first complete the travel registry and any other required forms prior to submitting a request for a loaner laptop. 
• The process includes a security briefing to help you navigate potential risks while abroad. 

How It Works 

• Submit your request through https://go.uleth.ca/travel-device. Please note that you must still fill out the travel registry and other required forms. 
• The form submission will notify ORIS, who will then advise ITS to prepare a laptop for you. 
• Before departure, ITS will conduct an optional but recommended security briefing specific to your travel context. 
• Upon returning, researchers must notify ORIS, return the laptop, and, if required, participate in a debrief session. 
•  ITS will reset the laptop to ensure it is ready for the next user.
