We don’t have any formal system for overseas research like this, but I know of institutions who do it on their own. Normally it's done by way of colleagues who know each other at different institutions around the world. Many labs also take their laptops out in the world, but obviously this isn’t usually practical when you’re talking about research in other countries. You can also get the software setup in other labs temporarily. We offer a software "rental" service for situations like that where you can load the software and use it remotely for up to 3-weeks for $50/machine.
