Faculty members, staff (i.e., Research staff, Safety Office staff, Research Ethics staff, and Information Systems & Technology staff involved in research using biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear materials or technology) and students, are invited to join Public Safety Canada (PSC) for the Safeguarding Science workshop.
The purpose of the PSC workshops, offered by Public Safety’s Research Security Centre, is to raise awareness within Canada's scientific and academic communities about research security-related issues.
The goal of the workshop is for participants to:
Access guidance and tools to strengthen their security posture
Understand best practices to identify and mitigate research security threats
Pursue and maintain safe research partnerships
Maintain institutional reputation as a safe research organization
Protect valuable research, data or potentially patentable property
Several virtual events are scheduled throughout the year. For upcoming dates and topics, visit Public Safety Canada's website.
Module 7: Conducting open-source due-diligence
This module provides an overview of open-source due-diligence techniques for researchers to use when evaluating the risks related to their potential partners. The outcome of this module will enhance researchers' ability to find relevant information using open-source methods.
For additional information about the workshop, please email The Research Security Centre.
French virtual sessions are available and registration can be accessed from the French Safeguarding Science page.
