Outside Activities

To ensure the integrity of the institution and its scientific enterprise, the school has explicit rules and holds implicit norms governing behavior of its appointees. With the acceptance of a faculty or non-faculty academic appointment at Harvard, you are expected to be aware of your obligations under the university and school’s policies.

These policies are intended to serve as a guide in structuring any relationships with industry, other academic institutions, and other outside ventures in view of your academic responsibilities for teaching, research, and administrative duties.

Policies pertaining to outside activities as well as conflicts of interest and commitment are provided via the menu items on the left.
