Instructions & Forms

MANDATORY FORMS

All participants are required to submit four mandatory forms to register for and attend the training: (1) Registration, (2) Logistics, (3) Health, Insurance and Emergency Form, and (4) Background and Biography Form. For those who need a visa to enter India for the training, the visa form is also required. 

These forms are brief and should not take more than an hour to complete. All forms are mandatory for the participants to attend the training. Please complete these forms on time! The information they collect is crucial for the planning process, so spare yourself (and us) from bugging you with persistent, personalized reminder emails.  

1. REGISTRATION FORM
 

Submit ASAP | Due July 14

The basic information provided in the registration form will help us plan for your participation in the training. This form should be filled out by managers OR attendees after they have approval from their manager/PI.  

2. LOGISTICS FORM

Submit ASAP | Due July 14

This will help us arrange your transportation to and from the training venue. Additionally, for staff members based in India, this form will help us in the flight bookings (Note: RST organizing team will book the flights for all India based staff members.  Please do not book the flights yourself).                      

Please submit this form ASAP, indicating TBD for all fields you have yet to determine. You can then return to this page and re-submit the form as soon as those details have been finalized. 

All participants must arrive at the Goa Airport by 3:00 pm on Sunday, August 27. If you are departing via flight, all return flights must leave from the Goa Airport after 6:30 pm on Friday, September 1. 

3. HEALTH, INSURANCE AND EMERGENCY FORM

Due July 14

This information will be extremely important in the event of Covid, an accident or medical emergency. Please include any special medical or personal information you would want an emergency care provider to know.  

4. BACKGROUND AND BIOGRAPHY FORM

Due July 14 

This information will be used to create a training participant guide that will be shared with trainers and participants. This will help your coworkers from around the globe get to know you better!

5. VISA FORM

Submit ASAP | Due July 14 

If you need a visa to enter India, we will use the information you provide to write a letter to support your visa application. Be sure to share your details by the July 14 deadline; after that, participants from abroad cannot be guaranteed support for obtaining a visa. Please note that the sooner we get this information, the sooner you can move forward with the  visa application process. We highly recommend you share your details ASAP!

Note: YOU are responsible for making sure that you have met the necessary visa requirements for citizens of your country to enter India. If you have an existing visa to India, you are responsible for verifying whether your visa validity extends throughout the entire training.
