Visitors to the MI

The Sponsorship of Visitors form attached below should be completed for all prospective visitors to the Mathematical Institute who will require access to services during their visit, including access to departmental IT facilities, University Card, desk space and Whitehead Library. This form should be completed before they arrive. The form should be completed by the “academic sponsor”. In some cases this will be a funded research project or centre in which case this form can be completed by the local administrative support. In other cases the sponsor will be an individual member of the faculty in which case this form should be completed by that faculty member. Some visitors may be funded by a research project within the Institute.  For those who are not funded from projects within the Institute it will be the responsibility of the sponsor to raise the question of fees with the visitor.  The current standard fee is £130 per month.

It is important that all visitors have the appropriate visa. Further information about this and other matters is given in the guidance notes below.

Once completed the form should be returned to the Visitors’ Co-ordinator, Dawn Bevan, for the Chairman’s approval.  Applications for a visit of six months or longer need prior approval of the Chairman of the Research Committee.

Dawn Bevan, Mathematical Institute, 24-29 St Giles, Oxford, OX1 3LB.

Please note that the form is a fillable PDF. Once completed the form can either be printed and returned via the internal post, or alternatively should you wish to send via email you will be required to save it as 'print it to file as PDF' option on the 'File' menu command. This is due to adobe reader not allowing users to save completed forms in the conventional way.
