Description

The intent of this workshop is to provide participants with a general introduction to the principle export control regulations applicable to the activities of colleges and universities. The workshop will cover what is and is not subject to export control, provide definitions of common terms, and introduce the basic concepts associated with export control. Wherever possible, workshop faculty will point out flexibility in the regulations or license exceptions that may be available. Participants will be provided with copies of faculty presentation materials, as well as excerpts from the Export Administration Regulations, Embargo and Trade Sanctions, and International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
