Current Research Delegations to Cuba

Global Exchange is currently facilitating licensed travel to U.S. Citizens that can qualify under OFAC General License. We are also organizing delegations for internationally sponsored conferences. U.S. Citizens are able to travel to Cuba for conferences that relate to their field of work. Check bottom of page for details. Delegations meet in Cancun. Costs include flight from Cancun to Havana, accomodations, 2 meals, translation, transportation and program fees.

Global Exchange works to facilitate licensed travel to Cuba according to current US policy restricting travel to the island. Participants need to be able to qualify under a general license. We will assist you in this process.

We hope to receive applications and a non-refundable deposit of $200 two months before departure. Payments by Mastercard or Visa are welcome.

This trip will be as diverse as possible in terms of race, age and life experiences. We strongly urge people of color to apply. In some cases, a limited number of partial scholarships are available for low-income applicants.

Global Exchange supports the freedom to travel to Cuba, along with the freedom of information. We believe one of the most important tools in ending the embargo and travel ban against Cuba is by making complete and accurate information available to the U.S. public. We are currently recruiting consultants to support our research and information gathering efforts in Cuba. You can be a part of supporting our efforts to make this much-needed information available to professionals, researchers, students and the general U.S. public.
