Promoting European cooperation in developing responses to research security challenges: Online Event

A new online events series about the most relevant research security areas to research management in Europe

 SIGN UP HERE 

Operationalising “research security” measures has become a defining challenge for research organisations and is one that disproportionately affects research managers as the need for enhanced due diligence and engagement with regulatory compliance measures increases significantly. In January 2024, the European Commission Council Recommendation on Research Security highlighted the need to enhance research security across Europe and outlined the creation of a European centre of expertise on research security, the development of tools to support research organisations and consistency of approach, as well as plans to change the EU’s dual-use export regime.

In April 2024, the presenters delivered a research security summit as a pre-conference event at the EARMA 2024 (European Association of Research Managers and Administrators) Annual Conference in Odense, Denmark. The purpose of the event was to build links in the European research management community by sharing knowledge and practice on operationalising research security guidelines and to establish a basis for further collaboration to build the capacity of research managers to identify and mitigate research security risks in international collaborations.

The aim of this online event series is to address the needs of the research management community identified at the EARMA research security summit in Odense. The presenters, will host a series of three free to attend online events focused on the following research security areas most relevant to European research managers:

1) October 21, 2024: Research security risks - insider threats

2) November 15, 2024: Resources for managing research security risks

3) December 12, 2024: Products to support research security management
 

Each session will provide practical support to research managers including discussion of case studies, signposting to publicly available tools and resources, and commercially available products. Please read the agenda of the online event to find out more information.
