The Research Office is hosting a Safeguarding Science Workshop, facilitated by Erin Dorgan from Public Safety Canada on October 22nd from 1:00-2:30 at 3RC060.

The purpose of the Safeguarding Science workshop is to raise awareness within Canada’s scientific and academic communities about research security-related issues. The primary objective of this workshop is to explain the potential for misuse of dual-use research, technology, and materials, along with possible risk indicators and mitigation tools to protect Canadian research assets. Safeguarding Science is intended for researchers, research staff (including technicians, postdoctoral fellows and students), research security professionals, research administrators, information technology and information management staff, security personnel, biosafety and radiological safety officers, human resources personnel, supply chain personnel and senior management.

The scenario-based workshop provides an opportunity for participants to apply the information shared in the Safeguarding Science presentation and to discuss strategies to work through research security problems.
