Welcome to the Global Activities Registry
The Global Activities Registry is Penn’s central resource for collecting information about the travel plans and activities of faculty, staff, and students preparing to travel abroad for academic, educational, clinical, research, or University business purposes. This secured information is used
- to contact travelers in emergencies
- to assist individuals and groups, as needed, with pre-travel preparations
- to identify opportunities for closer collaboration on international research and operations
All faculty, staff, and students with valid PennKeys are authorized to use the Registry.
The Registry has two sections, one for Group Coordinators and one for Travelers.
- Group Coordinators: In this section, those responsible for organizing and coordinating group travel enter general information about their program or activity.
- Travelers: In this section, individual travelers and participants in an organized group enter their travel details, including personal and emergency contact information, passport information, itinerary, and transportation details. International SOS, the organization that provides Penn students, faculty, and staff with international medical, security, and travel assistance, including emergency evacuation, is notified automatically of travel plans.
Be sure to enter your travel details before going abroad. The information will facilitate assistance from the University in case of an emergency, and you’ll be contributing data to support Penn’s international activities and other Penn travelers.
Please address any questions about the Registry to globalact@lists.upenn.edu.
Visit the Global Resources tab (PennKey required) on the U@Penn portal to access comprehensive information about Penn's international priorities, programs, and operational resources, including the Playbook for Global Engagement.
