research trip
Scholarly field visit
A research trip is travel undertaken to gather information, materials, or firsthand experience for academic, journalistic, or creative work.
Scholars visit archives, scientists conduct fieldwork, writers absorb settings for novels.
The term sometimes serves as cover for leisure travel with a thin professional justification: She called it a research trip, but mostly she sat on the beach.
